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 […]

Ethernet is widely used for all kinds of applications. However, for demanding multimedia streaming applications in a fully-loaded network, Ethernet is not the right choice due to its limited Quality-of-Service (QoS) support. IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) standard, an extension to legacy Ethernet, provides the QoS features needed for multimedia streaming such as time synchronized […]

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 […]
