Platform Architect by Synopsys

Product Description

To predict the dynamic system performance of multi-function SoC architectures, system-level simulation and performance analysis must be done earlier in the design cycle. While traditional spreadsheets are good for aggregating data, static spreadsheet calculations are not accurate enough to estimate performance and make design decisions. Risks include over-design, under-design, cost increases, schedule delays and re-spins.

Synopsys' Platform Architect with Multicore Optimization Technology (MCO) provides architects and system designers with SystemC transaction-level modeling (TLM) tools and methods for the efficient design, performance analysis and optimization of multicore SoC architectures.
Platform Architect enables system designers to explore and optimize the hardware-software partitioning and the configuration of the SoC infrastructure, specifically the global interconnect and memory subsystem, to achieve the right system performance and cost. Using this technology, designers can explore hundreds of alternatives at a time. Its efficient turnaround time, powerful analysis views, and available IP models make Platform Architect the premier choice for system-level performance analysis and optimization of ARM AMBA®-based SoCs.
