Fast prototyping: a system design flow applied to a complex System-On-Chip multiprocessor design

This paper describes a new design flow that significantly reduces time-to-market for highly complex multiprocessor-based System-On-Chip designs. This flow, called Fast Prototyping, enables concurrent hardware and software development, early verification and productive re-use of intellectual property...

Description
Summary:This paper describes a new design flow that significantly reduces time-to-market for highly complex multiprocessor-based System-On-Chip designs. This flow, called Fast Prototyping, enables concurrent hardware and software development, early verification and productive re-use of intellectual property. We describe how using this innovative system design flow, that combines different technologies, such as C modeling, emulation, hard virtual component re-use and CoWare N2C/sup TM/. We achieve better productivity on a multi-processor SOC design.
