Architecture Design

Achieving Optimal System Performance Without Overdesign

Discovering system performance problems late in the development cycle can be catastrophic to project schedules and product competitiveness, causing failure in the market. To predict the dynamic system performance of multi-function, multi-application SoC architectures, system-level simulation and performance analysis must be done earlier in the design cycle to accelerate innovation. This impacts both system OEMs and semiconductor companies, and creates an opportunity for information sharing and collaboration within the supply chain. The Synopsys Architecture Design solution includes the Platform Architect tools, Architecture Design Models, and CoStart Enablement Services.
