One of our recent work was evaluation of the “Integrated Vehicle Health Monitoring(IVHM)” of electronic systems using VisualSim for modeling and simulation. In the current scenario most of the solutions are using analytical methods to evaluate “success” or “failure” of a system which is obviously a critical task. We have created a very detailed level models […]

Most articles on ESL cover the IC-only design or a virtual prototyping environment for software development. Articles would be accurate if systems were simple and ICs were the only parts in a complete product. Unfortunately for an already confused industry, everyone mixes ESL and IC, seeming to imply that ESL tools aren’t needed. Remember that […]

System engineers and hardware/software architects are always worried about the correlation between a system-level model and RTL. Also, can a system-level model achieve the fidelity and accuracy of the actual implementation. We at Mirabilis Design, have evolved a methodology that allows the user to create a design flow that incorporates all the checks and balances […]

Today’s processing is very data dependent.  This means that the processing core is no longer the bottleneck.  With the addition of multi-core there is significant trade-off and reduction available cache.  In the past, hit-ratios were used to measure the performance of the system and MIPS was the final throughput number.  Video processing and multi-media applications […]
