Overview: This Webinar will focus on a common system-level simulation platform that can be shared by Semiconductor companies, Tier One Suppliers, OEMs in designing the entire E/E architecture. The transition to everything digital and electronics is causing a number of design challenges across the ECU, processors, semiconductors, software and networks. Current systems engineering solutions are focused on the correctness of algorithms, requirements management and SysML behavior model. What is required is accurate latency, throughput, buffer occupancy, optimal scheduling and power consumption measurement, prior to development.

We will delve into the design challenges associated with the new generation automotive system design, changes in the power efficiency and latency requirements, and handling of Distributed, Zonal, and Centralized Architecture computational. We show examples with use cases that originate at the SysML and refine all the way to micro-architecture. The examples will showcase the comparison and results for different use cases, topology, different SoC architectures, hardware modeling abstraction, software task graphs and traffic workload. We will look at applications such as braking, lighting, comfort, ADAS, EV, battery and safety system.
