Higher product design costs and risks have been driving the electronics industry to an increased focus on developing “product platforms.” The architecture often needs to be able to support new product ...

Emulation and Verification Engineering has introduced a hardware accelerator targeting the cosimulation market. ZeBu, (Zero Bugs), a PCI card, interfaces with a software simulator using hardware, ...

HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aldec, Inc., a pioneer in mixed-HDL language simulation and hardware-assisted verification for ASIC and FPGA designs, has introduced a HES-DVM™ simulation ...

Hardware/software co-design has been a goal for several decades, but success has been limited. More recently, progress has been made in optimizing a processor as well as the addition of accelerators ...

VITORIA-GASTEIZ, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Acceleration Robotics —a robotics semiconductor startup based in the Basque Country, Spain— together with Prof. Vijay Janapa Reddi from Harvard University and ...

Hardware/software partitioning algorithms are fundamental in the design of modern embedded systems, where the allocation of functionalities between hardware accelerators and software components is ...

The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...
