Rethinking the System Design Process

Dec 03, 2022  |  Author : admin_mirabilis

The system design process can incorporate linear thinking, parallel thinking, or both, depending on the nature of the anticipated system, subsystem, or element of a subsystem. The structure, composition, scale, or focal point of a new/incremental system design incorporates the talents and gifts of the designer in either a top-down or bottom-up design style. Is […]

The Hybrid Processor Model

Feb 11, 2022  |  Author : admin_mirabilis

Recently introduced by Mirabilis Design, the hybrid processor is an enhancement to the company’s IP library.  This is a big leap for those working with either new processors, or with a combination of processors of different sets like Tensilica, Arm and RISC-V. Earlier Mirabilis Design had a different model for each processor and for each […]

Eliminate Distributed System Design Risks

Dec 16, 2015  |  Author : Deepak Shankar

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 […]

Right Design Decisions with Early System Exploration

Dec 09, 2015  |  Author : Deepak Shankar

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 […]

System Design with Early System Exploration

Nov 30, 2015  |  Author : Deepak Shankar

System Design creates the right “look and feel” of the product for the target application. System design enables early architecture exploration using incomplete information to create accurate system requirements. Early system design creates the highest quality product with the required response time and throughput; optimized for power consumption; and has the lowest cost. The end […]
