Visual Elite

Advanced TLM-RTL Design and Integration Platform with Visual Elite

Visual Elite™ is the state-of-the-art design and integration platform enabling designers and system architects to intuitively capture and connect SystemC, TLM 2.0 and HDL blocks into complex SoC’s and systems.

Visual Elite is built upon a strong HDL implementation infrastructure while offering the most advanced electronic system-level (ESL) and transaction level modeling (TLM) concepts and mechanisms. Visual Elite greatly simplifies and accelerates capturing design structures in a hierarchical manner from untimed algorithmic systems and TLM architectures down to HDL descriptions. Delivering a design and integration platform across abstraction levels and domains is key to managing design complexities and disciplines throughout the design life-cycle.
