Even the most skilled developers and product designers can’t always know exactly what their users want. Software prototyping provides a functional proof-of-concept mock-up that identifies missing ...

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 ...

In previous articles I have talked about prototyping in general “Prototypes: What is a prototype?” and some of the consideration when deciding if a prototype would be beneficial, and then deciding on ...

Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS) today expanded its IP Accelerated initiative with support for Arm® processors with the new DesignWare® Hybrid IP Prototyping Kits. The kits enable designers to prototype ...

Why hardware-assisted verification systems are vital to designing next-gen hardware. The differences between hardware emulation and FPGA-based prototyping systems. How the demands of data-center CPUs ...

Much has been written about the rise of field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) -based platforms over application-specific-integrated-circuit (ASIC) implementations. During the last few years, FPGAs have ...
