Software cuts ASIC modelling time from months to days
It is important to model an SoC well in advance to avoid costly over-design or insufficient performance and to create a hardware emulation on which representative end-user applications can be run. Detailed architectural modelling provides reasonable estimates of the performance, power, memory resources, and the NoC (Network on Chip) configuration that will be required along […]
