Alliance creates link from Matlab to ESL
C models generated from Matlab can now be efficiently run inside CoWare Signal Processing Designer, increasing the simulation performance by more than 3x in typical cases.
Software eases ESL 2.0 transition
CoWare is the first company to deliver a comprehensive and integrated offering for the ESL 2.0 era.
"As system LSI chips are increasingly combined into SoCs with multiple processors, ESL design is key to addressing the challenges associated with the rising amount of embedded software that must be designed and verified with the hardware in these designs", said Hiroo Mochida, Director, LSI Development Systems Headquarters, Rohm.
"We selected CoWare's ESL design solutions based on the company's great track record, strong tool capabilities, large offering of IP models, and excellent services and support".
"Through this purchase agreement, Rohm will work closely with CoWare to accelerate development of an ESL methodology to address rising design complexity, and help our customers differentiate their products and accelerate time to market".
Rohm will use the ConvergenSC products worldwide for the design of multiple applications including image processing, mobile phones, and storage applications.
The hardware/software codesign, early software development, and fast simulation capabilities in ConvergenSC - along with its open SystemC-based flow - will enable Rohm's ASIC customers to accelerate their time to market and differentiate their end products with optimised architectures and memory subsystems, bus design, and hardware/software partitioning.
"Recognised as one of the most visionary and profitable semiconductor companies for more than 50 years, Rohm is known for its technological and strategic innovation", said Alan Naumann, President and CEO, CoWare.
"By adopting an ESL design methodology to offer further value to its ASIC customers, Rohm continues its long history of innovation".
