Effective and Lower-Cost Alternates to Virtual Prototypes and Instruction Set Simulators

March 9, 2023

Would you take this approach? I had a conversation this evening with a customer and an interesting topic came up. For early software development, especially for firmware, do you really need a Instruction Set Simulator? Could you use discrete-event simulation model with the code compiled to the x86 be sufficient? There are some advantages to […]

Future of Electronic Design Continues to be Excel

March 9, 2023

Hundreds of companies have come along to replace Excel. There are Salesforce, Workday, and Mirabilis Design Inc. Each company has tried to nimble at one specific use-case of Excel. They have improved on the rudimentary features offered by Excel and customized it for a target application. For example, in the design of electronic systems, Excel […]

Running Benchmarks on high-performance Hybrid Processor Models

March 9, 2023

Folks are always looking forward to simulate benchmarks on different hardware configurations and different processor models. It is not feasible to purchase every prototype board or connect these boards into a chassis to simulate every available option. Architecture simulation enables users to assembles different topologies, hardware configurations, platforms and processor families. Unfortunately most architecture simulation […]

Designing Processor pipeline with Cycle-Accurate Functional Architecture Model.

March 9, 2023

Processor architecture is the most complex piece of electronics. There are so many variations of processing- CPU, GPU, TPU, NPU, DSP and AI Accelerators. The cache/memory, bus topology and software partitioning is heavily oriented towards the application. Designing processors require significant knowledge of the execution pipeline, buffering, load/store, branch prediction, dispatcher, out-of-order and SIMD/MIMD. To size […]

Not PowerPoint; Not Word; Digital Twin is the best for Communication

March 9, 2023

Most product design fail because of communication inconsistency. 25 years ago Scott McNealy did not permit PowerPoint in any meeting at Sun Microsystems. Rumour has it that Jeff Bezos does not permit the use of PowerPoint during meetings at Amazon. PowerPoint is good for high-level presentations to executives, and folks that do not have to […]

Integrating SysML use cases into the product implementation

March 9, 2023

SysML is a fantastic way to capture the use cases, requirements and even the architecture. Now you can simulate these diagrams against system models of electronics and networks using VisualSim Architect. This new capability enables designers to evaluate the feasbility, size the system, identify inefficiency, measure quality-of-service and evaluate reliability with failure cases. In this […]

Optimizing Aircraft Avionics for Next-Gen requirements using Digital Twin and MBSE

February 22, 2023

Prior generation of avionics were built with a specific use-case in mind.  The resources were sized efficiently to match the avionics application requirements for performance, functionality, and failure.  These designs were tested using reference boards provided by the vendor.  The new generation of avionics have dynamic requirements with multiple use-cases, more instruments, and faster interfaces.  […]

What is a Full System Dynamic Simulation?

January 21, 2023

Was talking to a Senior Member of the US Military and the conversation swerved from architecture exploration of semiconductors to a seamless flow from requirements to communicating with system integrator. All the studies that ensure a full understanding of the project is the only way to ensure the project is successful and eliminates all surprises […]

Selecting the right hardware configuration for the signal processing platform

December 7, 2022

The quality of signal processing systems such as a software defined radio or a communication modem is dependent on the performance of the selected hardware platform. Early design explorations enable the designer to gain insights into implementation challenges, architectural decisions to enhance performance and power, and hardware/software partitioning before Register-Transfer level (RTL) and software are […]

System Simulation of Wired and Wireless Designs

December 6, 2022

Abstract The jump from 3G to 4G was significant because of the control logic requirements that made the standard way to exploring the algorithm difficult.  From the hardware-software architecture, the introduction of hardware accelerators and the integration of DSP, uP and GPU enabled companies to transition to the new speeds, modulation, antenna, and microware design.  […]

Managing Product Lifecycle Through Architecture Exploration

December 5, 2022

Abstract To have a true closed loop design environment, a single executable must be the reference from requirements to after-sale debugging.  This encompasses several stages and each having their own challenges and requirements.  The closed loop will ensure there is accountability and tracking, thus ensuring uniform communication.  The entire process will have a single specification […]
