Architecture exploration, power and performance analysis early in the design flow are mandatory in modern SoC design flow due to complex multi-threaded applications and multi-core processing requirements. Instruction Set Simulator or ISS of a selected processor plays a very important role. However, Current Instruction Set Simulators (ISS) and platform modelers have detailed functional execution, tuned […]

HAMBURG, Germany — Volkswagen plans to design and develop its own high-powered chips for autonomous vehicles, along with the required software, Chief Executive Herbert  Diess told a German newspaper. “To achieve optimal performance in light of the high demands that exist for cars,  software and hardware have to come out of one hand,” Diess told Handelsblatt. Volkswagen did not plan to build […]

VisualSim can be used to construct stochastic models using SystemResource blocks; where priority and preemption can be factored into the shared resource.  Stochastic models are in contrast to detailed cycle-accurate models.  If stochastic models are constructed, then they can use time estimates for first order of approximation; or a specific number of cycles with the SystemResource specifying the SystemResource speed in MHz […]
