Upgrade speeds simulation performance
A new release of MLDesigner brings significant performance improvements in three key areas: loading models, compiling models for simulation and closing models after simulations.
CD-ROM allows cross-platform software evaluation
MLDesign Technologies has produced a new MLDesigner evaluation CD-ROM that can be used with Windows computers.
Distributed external simulation enables users to reduce the time required for long simulations by distributing simulation iterations to separate machines.
The improved run control capabilities provide new options for stepping through simulations to analyse simulation execution while monitoring critical events.
The run controls are also used to track the execution of external simulations.

Development platform has educational aims
The EmbestUniversity is a teaching platform focused on embedded system development.
MLDesigner 2.4 introduces a new family of probes, which can be used in all seven MLDesigner primary design domains.
These probes can be combined with breakpoints, graphic animation and the new run controls to extend debugging capabilities.
Probe outputs can be displayed dynamically during simulation or written to files for later analysis.
A new, automatic create module tool in MLDesigner 2.4 gives users the ability to simplify complex block diagrams by automatically replacing multiple linked blocks with a single, high-level block.
The tool converts a collection of user-selected design blocks into a single block automatically generated ports and connections.
Clicking on the new block displays the underlying multi-block detail.
The create module tool helps users take advantage of MLDesigner's unlimited hierarchical layering to simplify block diagrams, group model elements logically and move details to lower-level block diagrams.
MLDesigner 2.4 also adds several new synchronous data flow primitives, the ability to use custom icons to graphically represent design blocks, improved and expanded random number generators, improved data structure handling, and a more configurable user interface.
MLDesigner is a powerful system-level design platform that integrates both major system-level modelling areas-architecture and function-in a single tool.
MLDesigner unifies modelling capabilities found in first generation point-tools for DSP/comms, networking and architectural performance analysis.
Developed and priced as a strategic tool for every engineer's desktop, MLDesigner provides significant productivity improvements for both individual designers and entire teams by helping them produce better designs faster and by providing a high degree of code reusability.
With MLDesigner, designers and their teams can make critical architectural tradeoffs using performance analysis, develop comprehensive functional specifications, evaluate proposed changes to the architectural and functional specifications and create executable specifications to guide implementation.
Customers are using MLDesigner today for projects ranging from the architectural performance analysis of microprocessor designs to the simulation of global military communications systems.
