Synopsys has an extensive and successful track record of collaborating with customers to create and deploy transaction-level models (TLMs) and virtual platforms for their early software development. With more than 100 staff-years of engineering experience in building models and platforms, this proven experience and expertise in both hardware and embedded software design will help you achieve your system-level modeling goals.

Our experts provide the following services to your project teams:

Model Creation
The development of new or customer-specific transaction-level models not currently available in the DesignWare System-Level Library is a key ingredient of delivering high-performance, customized virtual platforms. Our focus is on speed and accuracy: the models are built for fast simulation execution with accurate representation of the hardware so that the same software that runs on the models runs on the hardware -- unmodified.

Virtual Platform Assembly/Customization
Synopsys will assist with the assembly of TLMs into a new virtual platform representing your specific embedded system, or the customization of a pre-existing platform to represent the latest design intent. Virtual platforms are more than a collection of models; their creation requires system-level understanding and knowledge of tools for developing and executing virtual platforms, such as Synopsys' Innovator. With over 65 complex virtual platforms developed to date, Synopsys is uniquely qualified to help you integrate, debug, and test your virtual platform while we transfer knowledge to your team.

System-Level Methodology Consulting
Synopsys experts deliver consulting and training on virtual platform tools and methodologies to accelerate your team's learning curve and system-level modeling productivity.
