Imperas CEO talks at DVCon, 3rd March 2016, San Jose, CA

Wednesday, February 3, 2016

Imperas Software Ltd., leader in high-performance software simulation and virtual prototyping, today announced that its CEO Simon Davidmann will speak on an Electronic System Level (ESL) panel at DVCon 2016. DVCon is the premier conference for discussion of the functional design and verification of electronic systems.

This DVCon panel, “Redefining ESL” is moderated by Brian Bailey of Semiconductor Engineering, who recently wrote an article titled, “What ESL Is Really About.” There are many views on the role of ESL in design and verification, so panelists will have plenty to consider as they discuss raising the level of abstraction from the register transfer level (RTL) to ESL for both hardware and software.

DVCon attendees are invited to join Brian Bailey, Simon Davidmann, and other distinguished experts who will attempt to define ESL verification, from tools to flows. Specifically, Simon will address where ESL and verification needs to go, virtual platforms, embedded software development, debugging, analysis, and verification.

Learn More about Imperas MIPS CPU Virtual Platforms for Software Development and Testing

Oxford, United Kingdom - Imperas Software Ltd., the leader in high-performance software simulation, today announced their participation at the Imagination Summit Silicon Valley 2015 and invites attendees to meet for a demonstration of Imperas™ virtual platform based software development, debug and verification tools.

Imagination Summit Silicon Valley - "Securing the Future" - is a day-long series of presentations, demonstrations and detailed technical sessions with top executives and experts from Imagination Technologies and their partners. Attendees can explore the ultra-low power architectures in Imagination's SoC processor IP cores and discover security solutions for IoT and other markets.

Imagination will feature their new generation of MIPS Warrior CPUs, which are already supported by Imperas Open Virtual Platforms (OVP) models.  Imperas also supports MIPS-based SoC software development through its Extendable Platform Kits (EPKs), which help users to get a quick start with virtual platform methodology, and with tools for software debug, analysis and verification.  Imperas will have demos of the full line of MIPS models, as well as the EPKs and the Imperas embedded software tools. 

Imperas Participates in the Embedded World Conference February 2015

Friday, February 20, 2015

Imperas Software Ltd., are participating in the popular Embedded World Conference 2015 at the Nuremberg Convention Center Ost, NürnbergMesse, 90471 Nuremberg, Germany, February 24.-26, 2015.

CDNLive, 11-12 March 2014, Santa Clara, California. Imperas Presenting a paper on the importance of simulation speed for software quality

Sunday, February 16, 2014

CDNLive is March 11-12 in Santa Clara, California and is organized by Cadence Design Systems.  Imperas will be presenting a paper titled “Software Quality is Directly Proportional to Simulation Speed” as part of Track 6, at 4pm Tuesday March 11th.  Here is the abstract: 

“Software quality is directly proportional to simulation speed.”  This is obvious, even intuitive, for engineers.  Faster simulations mean more tests can be run, which in turn means more bugs can be found, which results in higher quality.  Reduced schedules can be a side benefit of speed. 

While this is obvious, why is it so important right now?  One example is server SoCs, where software/systems test suites can include hundreds of tests, each consisting of hundreds of billions of instructions.  If the virtual platform performance is 100 MIPS, this test suite could take over one week to run.  If the performance is five times faster, running the test suite takes 1 day; ten times faster and it runs overnight.  This simulation speed is especially interesting with the new generation of ARMv8 based server SoCs.  It is also interesting in areas such as image recognition, where hardware accelerators sit next to the CPUs on the SoC.
