CoWare's Platform Architecture Design Solution focuses on the challenges associated with the optimization and performance validation of the backbone interconnect and global memory subsystem of the SoC. Architects are looking to ESL methods to greatly improve the analysis and decision making process. Software developers and integration and test teams are asked to deliver better products faster and with higher quality. IP, semiconductor and electronics companies are using CoWare Virtual Platforms to address the challenges associated with low-level and hardware-dependent software development, application software development, and to perform system integration and test. CoWare virtual hardware platforms are fast and scalable simulations of the system hardware, including the device hardware and the environment it evolves in.
