As the software content in today's 2.5G and 3G phones rapidly increases, timely software development is becoming critical for product success. The traditional development flow—in which software design ...

Much has been written about the rise of field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) -based platforms over application-specific-integrated-circuit (ASIC) implementations. During the last few years, FPGAs have ...

Chipmakers are piling an increasing set of demands on virtual prototypes that go well beyond its original scope, forcing EDA companies to significantly rethink models, abstractions, interfaces, view ...

Virtual prototyping involves using various technologies—from computer-aided design software to simulation tools—to create highly detailed prototypes before making the physical versions. Car ...

Virtual prototypes, often used as a niche tool in the past, are becoming essential for developing complex systems. In fact, systems companies are finding they no longer can function without them. In ...
