Sorry for two posts about the same subject, but Brian Bailey’s whitepaper (System Level Virtual Prototyping becomes a reality with OVP donation from Imperas) really got me thinking. Overall, Brian formulates a strong argument for system-level model-based design.
I found a great article on OVP World written by Brian Bailey about ESL and the forces at work affecting ESL adoption. It’s called “System Level Virtual Prototyping becomes a reality with OVP donation from Imperas” and I highly recommend it.
Representatives from MITRE and Northrop Grumman discuss employing Model Based System Engineering on a “Large-Scale, Distributed, Real-Time System” — the next generation airborne Command and Control Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance capability for the U.S. Air Force. This paper is especially interesting because the authors focus on the project coordination / human issues, as well as the technological challenges.
Green Hills Software recently announced software performance optimization services with a money back guarantee. Foresight M & S would like to help you optimize your systems before they’re implemented.
GM is leveraging a model based design process to reduce time to market and manage complexity for their hybrid powertrain development. This story highlights the power of modeling and simulation to streamline product cycles for extremely complex systems with the most demanding operational requirements.
The exact definition of ESL is a moving target, and the subject is interpreted differently among different constituencies. This interesting article discusses ESL from the perspective of Mentor Graphics and Synopsys, with insight from Tensilica thrown in.
“Convenient concurrency” (as described in an article by Grant Martin and Steve Leibson) eases the adoption and incorporation of multi-core processors in embedded systems designs. We discuss how RAMS also contributes to multi-core design success.
The Editor-in-Chief of SOC Central interviewed representatives from Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, CoWare and Cadence for a recent webcast. They talked about ESL, the benefits and obstacles to adoption, and how tools from their companies can be used to implement an ESL flow.
Paul shares a paper on the integration of SysML with Modelica that he recently became aware of.
We discuss the application of the RAMS methodology to Software Defined Radio design. Foresight has been used very successfully on a number of JTRS-related SDR projects, and we share some of the more notable results and how they were achieved.
