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.
Alan Naumann, President and CEO at CoWare said "Together, we enable design teams to more easily leverage existing register transfer level (RTL) intellectual property (IP) to create virtual hardware platforms sooner in the design cycle, while maintaining the accuracy of the platform through to system debug".
"CoWare is very pleased to partner with Carbon to provide our customers with this valuable capability".
"By extending our relationship, we are providing a practical solution that removes barriers to model availability and accuracy by increasing RTL re-use in a production-proven ESL design environment", according to Rick Lucier, President and CEO at Carbon.
"System designers can focus on the modelling of new IP, while we help increase the overall return on investment for platform modelling".
"It's a great combination and we are looking forward to working with CoWare".
Components generated by Carbon Model Studio plug directly into CoWare's standards-based SystemC environment and can be distributed to software users worldwide.
Carbon Model Studio's graphical user interface enables the user to create a Carbon model, configure its software-visible registers and link with Platform Architect's transaction-based interfaces for re-use across multiple abstraction levels and interconnects.
Platform Architect components generated by Carbon Model Studio are integrated through CoWare's SystemC Modelling Library (SCML).
This gives system architects and software engineers debug visibility into the Carbon Model, as all registers and memories in any model can be queried, modified, or used as breakpoints.
Carbon Models are completely hardware-accurate and can generate waveforms for viewing in the CoWare environment.
This enables software and hardware engineers to work together to debug complex system problems or any hardware problems uncovered by running software.
Carbon Model Studio for Platform Architect and Carbon model development professional services are available immediately from CoWare.
