NIRA Dynamics AB, a subsidiary of Audi Electronics Venture GmbHIn the automotive electronics industry we always need to do more testing of our embedded systems software. Finding that the simulation performance of the Imperas/OVP V850 model was 50 times faster than our previous solution opens up new possibilities for us in software testing, and enables us to increase our test coverage and product reliability.

Embedded Systems and Communications Research Group, University of LeicesterThe lack of electronic design automation (EDA) tools combining model flexibility, and fast and accurate evaluation of performance, power, and reliability is one of the major challenges currently faced by embedded researchers. Even expensive, commercially available tools don't often meet modeling and simulation needs for emerging technologies.The description of processors – i.e., register or gate-level – is rarely available to universities, and commercial licenses are quite expensive. Having free tools with different state-of-the-art processor models allows the exploration of new system architectures.
