CoWare will demonstrate its leadership in SystemC language system-level design tools and methodologies for hardware/software codesign and IP re-use at this year's Design Automation Conference.

CoWare will demonstrate its leadership in SystemC language system-level design tools and methodologies for hardware/software codesign and IP re-use at this year's Design Automation Conference In addition to hosting an active booth (number 2658) and demonstration suite (number 4650), CoWare will hold seminars on SystemC for system-level design and a hands-on tutorial on hardware-software integration on the ARM wireless PrimeXsys platform

"Since we launched the SystemC language nearly three years ago, CoWare has shown consistent leadership.

Now our proven hardware/software codesign methodology and the most extensive and successful system-level design tool set in the industry fully supports SystemC", stated Pete Hardee, CoWare's director of product marketing and secretary of OSCI.

"Top tier companies, including industry giants Matsushita, Sony and STMicroelectronics, have demonstrated that our CoWare N2C design system has cut their overall hardware/software design time by half or more".

CoWare's SystemC Seminar will be given by the chair of OSCI's language working group, Dundar Dumlugol, PhD.

In this hour-and-a-half seminar, entitled "System-level design with SystemC and CoWare N2C", delegates will learn how SystemC v2.0 can be applied in a top-down hardware/software codesign flow or in a platform-based SoC design flow.

Dr Dumlugol also will explain how transaction-level modelling can be used to explore ARM AMBA platform design alternatives with simulation speeds above 100kHz.

The tutorial will be given four times during DAC in CoWare's suite number 4650, at 2pm on Monday 10th June, 9am and 2pm on Tuesday 11th June and 9am on Wednesday 12th June.

Interested delegates should e-mail info@coware.com to reserve a seat.

CoWare and ARM are jointly delivering a hands-on tutorial on Wednesday 12th June from 8am to 12 noon in room 293 of the convention centre titled, "Hardware-software integration on the ARM wireless PrimeXsys platform using the CoWare N2C design system".

In this tutorial, two very crucial aspects of embedded systems verification will be discussed: choosing and verifying the optimal SoC architecture prior to implementation/prototype, and verifying system integration and software interactions, paying particular attention to the simulation speed and debugging visibility for the hardware and embedded software.

During this tutorial, attendees will verify the Wireless PrimeXsys Platform based on the ARM926 microprocessor core, ARM PrimeCell peripherals and the multilayer AHB bus.

The CoWare N2C design system will be used to simulate, debug and analyse the ARM-based platform.

Interested delegates should register for this tutorial when they get to the Design Automation Conference.
