Launch of TraceAnalyzer 1.2 delivers 10x speed improvement
Symtavision has launched TraceAnalyzer 1.2 which delivers a ten-fold speed improvement in terms of visualizing and analyzing timing trace and log data for ECUs, controllers, processors, buses and networks, while also reducing memory requirements ten-fold.
The Symtavision TraceAnalyzer is also capable of automatically generating system timing models for SymTA/S, Symtavision’s de-facto industry-standard tools suite for system-level timing design and timing verification. Symtavision recently announced SymTA/S 2.4 incorporating a wealth of new and improved features targeted at the automotive electronics, aerospace, automation and transportation markets including enhanced support for multi-core processors and AUTOSAR.
“Understanding system timing and performance is fundamental to designing and verifying real-time systems,” said Dr. Marek Jersak, CEO of Symtavision. “As such, tracing is now typically applied to log the timing of relevant events. However, the challenge is to efficiently analyze trace data and quickly identify timing problems along with their root causes. The Symtavision TraceAnalyzer provides engineers with an extremely powerful tool for visually analyzing this data and, with the launch of TraceAnalyzer 1.2, the ability to perform analyses up to 10 times faster than before.”
In the coming months, Dr. Jersak, CEO of Symtavision, will be giving talks on the techniques and tools for system-level timing design and timing verification at SAE World Congress 2011 (April 13, Detroit), ESC 2011 Silicon Valley (May 5, San Jose) and DAC 2011 (June 5, San Diego) in the USA.
