Company Profile

Imperas Software Ltd.

Company Description

Imperas provides methodologies, technologies and products to enable the efficient and effective verification of software functionality and software performance for embedded systems.  Its products enable software functional verification, performance profiling, and analysis for embedded software operating on multiprocessor/multicore/multithreaded SoCs.

Much of the Imperas technology is available through Open Virtual Platforms (OVP, www.OVPworld.org).  OVP includes the OVPsim simulator, libraries of models and APIs for developing new models.  OVPsim executes platforms, including multicore platforms, at hundreds of millions of instructions per second, providing the speed that software developers require for simulation of embedded systems.  The open source model libraries include everything from individual processor models (from ARM and other processor developers) and component models to more complex platforms, such as the ARM IntegratorCP development board for running Linux.  OVP APIs enable the embedded software community to develop models of processors, behavioral components and peripherals, and to connect these together into virtual platforms that run the final target system software binaries unchanged.  All OVP models have native SystemC/TLM-2.0 interfaces, enabling the models to be used with any SystemC simulator.
