System Analysis

Today's SoC are driven by the convergence of computing, multimedia and wireless communications in consumer electronic devices, where power and performance are key competitive advantages. SoC designers and system architects must have deterministic mechanisms to explore and optimize performance and power behavior before implementation to allow scalability and avoid under-designed silicon and re-spins. Designers and system architects need to:

• Accurately validate performance and power at the TLM domain
• Validate system performance and power during real software execution
• Conduct fast what-if analysis of architecture alternatives
• Prove multi-core software allocations are correct
• Analyze trade-offs prior to hardware or software availability
