Latest Synopsys Virtualizer Release Accelerates VDK Performance by Up to 5X for Early Software DevelopmentMOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Highlights:
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS) today announced availability of the latest release of its Virtualizer™ tool for creating Virtualizer Development Kits (VDKs), software development kits that use virtual prototypes as the embedded target to enable the fastest time to quality software. The latest Virtualizer release implements new features including MultiSim, SimSight and FastBuild to increase VDK simulation performance by up to 5X and accelerate VDK availability for earlier software development. "One of the benefits of virtual prototyping is the ability to scale the prototype to an entire system," said Andreas v. Schwerin, principal engineer at Siemens. "By using the Virtualizer MultiSim feature of the VDKs, we were able to simulate our system up to five times faster than with a regular virtual prototype simulation." The latest features in the Virtualizer tool enable virtual prototyping teams to create VDKs more quickly and with higher performance compared to using build-your-own SystemC-based modeling efforts:
