The Comet 5 system engineering environment (SEE) provides quantitative architectural design and evaluation, hardware refinement and verification, and software development.
Hardware design in an SoC world
Adopting a virtual-prototype-based SoC development process offers all-round benefits, and makes the hardware designer's job easier, argues Graham Hellestrand, founder of Vast Systems Technology.
The company will also sponsor a luncheon panel entitled "Lessons from the trenches: real-world ESL project experiences - are the advantages worth the cost and effort?", on Wednesday 26th July at 1200 local time.
Gary Smith, Senior EDA Analyst with Gartner/Dataquest, will moderate the panel, with panellists discussing implementation methods, tools and ROI; contrasting the use of ESL to prior results using traditional EDA methods; and debating the future direction of ESL.
On Monday 24th July, Vast will give a tutorial on "Using virtual system prototypes to optimise architectures for low power and other key attributes".
Customers use the Vast Comet and Meteor tools together with virtual processor, bus and peripheral models to develop virtual system prototypes during the architecture definition, exploration and optimisation phase of the embedded systems design process.
These become the actual platforms - the golden reference models - for developing software and for driving hardware design.
The high performance, timing accuracy, high observability and controllability of virtual system prototypes, in comparison with silicon, make them indispensable in an efficient engineering process.
