Virtual prototypes and hardware design: More powerful and complex integrated circuits and System-on-Chip (SoC) designers have a daunting task at both the hardware and software level. SoC architects ...

Traditional ASIC and IP verification methods cannot adequately exercise the hardware and software components of today's designs. This is due to tool performance limitations, which impose a bottleneck ...

Marvel, the U.K. startup that lets you turn sketches into mobile and web app “prototypes”, has acquired design and animation tool Plexi. Terms of the acquisition remain undisclosed. However I ...

Most everyone would agree how important FPGA prototyping is to test and validate an IP, sub-system, or a complete SoC design. Before the design is taped-out it can be validated at speeds near real ...

How to work out a prototyping strategy that eases the transition to mass production. The advantages of using data from devices in the field to improve designs over time. How to make products more ...

I just returned from a very stress-free business trip (an oxymoron!) to A.T. Ferrell Co. Inc. in Bluffton, Ind. There was only three of us in the small commuter jet traveling to the Ft. Wayne airport, ...

The intention is straightforward for every piece of software that our company builds: Provide a solution that quickly solves problems and creates a compelling user experience. To truly achieve this ...

The prototype design pattern enables you to create new instances by copying existing instances to avoid the overhead involved in creating objects that can consume more resources Design patterns are ...
