Software eases ESL 2.0 transition
CoWare is the first company to deliver a comprehensive and integrated offering for the ESL 2.0 era.
CoWare will also offer ESL tool licences to several other academic and research institutes in India through the government funded Special Manpower Development Program (SMDP) Phase II.
"The Computer Science and Engineering Department at IIT Delhi has been working on system level modelling, system synthesis and architecture design space exploration for some time now", said Prof Balakrishnan of the Computer Science and Engineering Department at IIT Delhi.
"An advanced course on 'System-level design and modelling', open to our MTech and PhD students, has also been introduced in the curriculum".

CoWare's platform-driven ESL design solution enables hardware verification, architecture exploration and software development on IBM PowerPC 440 and CoreConnect-based platforms.
Collaboration produces ESL design environment
The CoWare CORXpert Personalisation Kit for STMicroelectronics supports ST's engineers in the creation of application-specific custom processors.
"CoWare's tools immediately struck us as the most suitable set of tools for supporting this course".
"We are in the process of integrating ConvergenSC and Lisatek with our curriculum so students are able to experience in the laboratory the design and analysis techniques they learn in the classroom".
"The Advanced VLSI Design Laboratory at IIT Kharagpur has been working closely with worldwide EDA leaders and semiconductor companies for the last several years, and it is exciting for us to partner with CoWare to extend the lab in the ESL space", said PP Chakrabarti, Dean SRIC, IIT Kharagpur".
""CoWare's rich toolset of SystemC and processor modelling tools will be a welcome channel for the students to learn the fundamentals of system-level modelling".
"We also look forward to partnering with CoWare to develop intellectual property (IP) models for system-level design".
"Rising SoC complexity, including the increasing amount of embedded software and complex interactions between hardware and software, means that companies around the world are increasingly integrating ESL design tools and methodologies as part of their flows", said Alok Kumar, Managing Director, CoWare India Private.
"India's traditional strength in the software domain makes it a pivotal player in the emerging ESL market".
"And as the leader in ESL design, it is important that CoWare partner with leading Indian universities like IIT Delhi and IIT Kharagpur to encourage ESL research and development, ultimately making it easier for our customers to make the move to ESL and gain competitive advantage".
CoWare will provide licences for its ConvergenSC system-on-chip (SoC) design tools, Lisatek embedded processor design tools and SPW digital signal processing (DSP) application solution to IIT Delhi and IIT Kharagpur for use in the institutions' ESL labs.
The tools will help drive research projects in the ESL domain and help prepare students for industry through expanded ESL courses in the curriculum.
Because widespread adoption of ESL also requires extensive, accurate and detailed IP models that enable designers to explore and debug their designs at the system level, CoWare will also work closely with IIT Kharagpur to codevelop SystemC IP models.
With the great strides made by teaching ESL methodologies early and accelerating ESL research, CoWare is helping facilitate the move to ESL methodologies for its customers.
