Virtual Platform

Virtual platforms are software models of complete systems that provide software engineers with high-speed, pre-silicon development environments months before hardware is available. Virtual platforms enable concurrent development of SoC hardware and software, significantly shortening embedded system suppliers’ hardware/software integration time and accelerating their products to market. Because they are based on software models, virtual platforms offer unmatched effectiveness for developing and debugging multi-core designs. Synopsys provides a complete solution of models, tools and services for developing and running virtual platforms.
