Kodak Adopts Synopsys TCAD Sentaurus Simulation Software
Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, announced that Kodak, a world leader in image sensor technology, has adopted Synopsys' TCAD Sentaurus[TM] simulation software to support its research and development of new image sensor products. The electronic "eyes" that convert light into electrical signals in digital cameras and other imaging devices, image sensors are made up of many individual picture elements, or pixels. The trend toward higher resolution and improved light sensitivity requires increasingly complex and smaller pixel designs, inspiring a new generation of products with higher-quality images and functionality and prompting the need for advanced simulation tools to support product development.
Virtutech Reveals Hybrid Simulation for Mixed Levels of Model Abstraction
To solve the critical need for performance analysis and optimization of the system-on-chip (SoC) model when developing for complex multicore processors, Virtutech, Inc., the leader of virtualized software development (VSD) solutions for electronic systems, announced a hybrid simulation capability that supports multiple levels of model abstraction within its Simics simulation environment.
CoWare Supports OSCI SystemC TLM-2.0 Interface Standard
CoWare®, Inc., the leading supplier of platform-driven electronic system-level (ESL) design software and services, announced its commitment to support the newly-released SystemC TLM-2.0 interface standard from the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI). CoWare will provide support in upcoming releases of CoWare's ESL 2.0 solutions for platform architecture design and software development during the second half of 2008.
OSCI Completes TLM-2.0 SystemC Transaction-level Modeling Standard
The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI), an independent non-profit organization dedicated to defining and advancing SystemC[tm] as an industry-standard language for electronic system-level (ESL) design, announced the completion of the SystemC Transaction-level Modeling Standard, TLM-2.0. The TLM interface standard enables SystemC model interoperability and reuse at the transaction level, providing an essential ESL framework for architecture analysis, software development, software performance analysis, and hardware verification.
Synopsys Supports Open SystemC Initiative SystemC TLM-2.0 Standard
Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, announced support for the newly ratified Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) SystemC[TM] TLM-2.0 standard in its Innovator and DesignWare® System-Level Library products. Synopsys was active in the development of this new standard, which unlocks the potential of SystemC as the virtual platform infrastructure for pre-silicon embedded software development. Designers use components from the TLM-2.0 compliant DesignWare System-Level Library to develop, verify and deliver interoperable SystemC-based virtual platforms for pre-silicon embedded software development using Synopsys' Innovator. The results can be natively executed in every SystemC TLM-2.0 compliant simulator without sacrifice in performance.
OSCI Releases White Paper on Embedded SystemC AMS Extensions
The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) announced the release of a whitepaper introducing system-level design and modeling of embedded Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) systems using SystemC AMS extensions. The whitepaper can be downloaded at www.systemc.org. The whitepaper will also be available at the 7th Symposium on Electronic System-Level Design with SystemC, co-located with the Design Automation Conference held this week in Anaheim, CA.
