Carbon Design Systems and MIPS Technologies Collaborate to Enable Virtual Platforms

Marketwired
Carbon Design Systems™ and MIPS Technologies (NASDAQ: MIPS), a
leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and
cores for digital, home, networking and mobile applications,
announced today that they are collaborating to create and
distribute virtual platform models of MIPS Technologies' processor
intellectual property (IP) cores.
The first models are available already from Carbon, the leading
supplier of solutions for architectural analysis, performance
optimization and pre-silicon firmware debug.
Carbon's processor models are generated from the production
register transfer level (RTL) code for each MIPS® core. The
resulting models will deliver 100% cycle accuracy. The models and
virtual platforms will feature integration with gdb and the MIPS
Navigator™ ICS (Integrated Component Suite) to enable interactive
debug and analysis.
"Carbon is a leader in providing cycle accurate simulation and
virtual platforms," remarked Art Swift, vice president of marketing
and business development at MIPS. "The accurate models and
MIPS-Based virtual platforms delivered by Carbon will enable our
customers to perform architectural tradeoffs, ensure real-time
behavior and tune performance in critical functions early in the
design cycle."
Models of MIPS processor IP and corresponding virtual platforms
from Carbon are compiled directly from the implementation RTL code
and maintain 100% functional accuracy. Configuration and generation
of the models can be done at any time using Carbon's IP Exchange
web portal. Models are designed for use in Carbon's SoCDesigner
Plus virtual platform and can execute as part of a SystemC or RTL
simulation environment.
Carbon Design Systems will demonstrate its architectural
analysis, performance optimization and pre-silicon firmware debug
solutions in Booth # 1914, 2127 at the 48th Design Automation
Conference (DAC) June 6-8 at the San Diego Convention Center in San
Diego, Calif.
Availability Models of the MIPS32® M14K™
and M14Kc™ cores are available today. Additional processors will be
released regularly. Up-to-date model availability and download
information is available from the Carbon IP Exchange:
