A Scalable, High-Performance Approach to SDV Development and Testing

SDVs are pushing automakers to adopt faster, more scalable software development and testing methods. This white paper outlines how Vector and Synopsys combine high‑performance simulation, automation, and the open SIL Kit interoperability layer to accelerate integration, improve test coverage, and enable cloud‑ready SDV workflows.

What You’ll Learn

• Why SDVs require a new development paradigm and how complexity, distributed architectures, and the push for continuous integration reshape engineering workflows
• How Vector + Synopsys enable scalable multi‑ECU simulation, bringing together high‑performance virtual prototyping, robust test automation, and the SIL Kit open interoperability backplane
• A unified SDV development and validation strategy that supports cloud‑ready testing, CI/CD workflows, and modular, multi‑vendor simulation environments
