Performance analysis and early architecture exploration minimizes new technology adoption risks and optimizes the resulting system specification. Early design exploration can validate the specification for performance, power and functionality at an accuracy of 85-90% of the real system. Design Explorations early in the design flow reduces development time by over 30%, reduces implementation re-spins, and […]

Creating a new System-on-Chip (SoC) for streaming video with a MPEG application requires a number of decisions to be made before development is scheduled. The design would have some amount of existing hardware and software components in the SoC. The new application such as H.264 application will have some known and mostly unknown characteristics. These […]

Performance analysis and early architecture exploration ensures that you will select the right hardware/software platform and achieve optimal partitioning of the application onto available resources. In product design, three factors are certain: specifications change, non-deterministic traffic and faster processing resources. Products operate where processing and resource consumption are a function of the data and user […]

Emerging, high-speed bus technologies and migration to multi-core platform requires detailed high-level system analysis before scheduling implementation. Systems engineers run multi-variant workloads to conduct a battery of trade-offs including task response time vs. power dissipated; distributed vs. centralized processing; and throughput vs. cost. Analytical means and over-provisioning cannot handle the system complexity required to identify […]
