Cadence Showcase Prototyping Innovation and Early Software Development at embedded world 2013

The suite is comprised of four platforms: the Cadence Virtual System Platform, Cadence Incisive Development Platform, Cadence Palladium Verification Computing Platform, and the Cadence Rapid Prototyping Platform. These platforms help accelerate system integration, validation, and bring-up with a set of four connected platforms for concurrent hardware/software design and verification. Its technologies span the entire design cycle, from early architectural-level software development through testbench simulation and system validation to prototyping. It is open for third-party integration and supports industry standards and multiple levels of design abstraction. It allows easy migration among the four platforms and between HW/SW domains.

Nimish Modi, Senior Vice President, Research and Development, System and Software Realization Group of Cadence said, “As technology grows more complex, software is eclipsing hardware as the main driver of system development cost, schedule, and risk. Because software applications have become a primary product differentiator, systems and semiconductor companies must provide not only silicon, but complete hardware and software systems ready for apps deployment. EDA companies must provide solutions for both, and embedded world provides the ideal venue for us to engage with the industry on these system-level challenges.”
