Performance continues to be key factor for the design of any complex system-on-chip (SoC). Moreover, complexity is increasing every day, which poses a challenge for engineers to track performance of the design, yet they are tasked to continuously increase chip performance. When it comes to run time performance engineers not only develop the functionality but also can check performance of the design which is getting impacted from the new module. In traditional approach functionality development and performance analysis are sequential task and executed one after the other.

Synopsys’ Verdi Performance Analyzer enables run time metrics to help achieve desired chip performance. Verdi Performance Analyzer lets functionality developers to do performance-based checks at early run time. This blog walks through taking memory protocol example, but the flow is protocol independent and applicable to all SoC designs.
