Bulletproofing Virtual Prototypes
By Malte Doerper - 21 Dec, 2017 - Comments: 0

The big benefits of virtual prototyping methods are that they don’t rely on the availability of RTL or physical hardware. Instead they utilize modes of the future SoC. These models are typically lightweight and optimized for their use case, which is important in regards of simulation speed, modeling and testing effort. Model quality is a key concern, as the virtual prototyping end user accept... » read more

Are You Virtually Fast Enough?
By Malte Doerper - 26 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

During high school my class was divided into two camps: Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher fans. Regardless of either camp, the real heated question was whether the driver or the race car is more important. Over the years I lost track and I don’t remember if any of those discussions ever concluded. So now, 25 years later, let me try to engage in a slightly similar but hopefully more balanced... » read more

Are You Designing The Right Product?
By Malte Doerper - 28 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

Development and production of SoCs is becoming more and more complex and expensive. And rightfully so, the semiconductor industry spends billions of dollars on verification efforts. Verification is about checking the design behaves per its specification, a process that is very important and well understood. Still, something can go terribly wrong because having a verified SoC does not guarant... » read more

Come Together Right Now Over… Virtual Prototypes
By Malte Doerper - 29 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

As a frequent traveler and gadgets enthusiast I love the concept of all my devices being connected. However, more often than not I experience a divide which is sometimes caused by bad software and sometimes caused by missing hardware interfaces. My recent frustration was related to my tablet missing a USB port to upload new maps to my GPS device. The GPS device became a divided, isolated pi... » read more

Wear Down Your Virtual Prototype
By Malte Doerper - 27 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

Just when you think you know all variations of embedded software development you are exposed to another domain of unique and interesting challenges. This happened to me awhile back when I started to learn about the software for Flash Memory controllers. You can read a lot about Flash market growth predictions or about the physical challenges of the next generation storage technologies he... » read more

Virtual Iron (Chef)
By Malte Doerper - 22 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

I love good food but I am a horrible cook. Partially because my wife is a wonderful chef at home and I can enjoy the comfort of just eating. Until recently, I couldn’t handle most of the kitchen equipment and I had no clue which ingredients and spices work well together. When I read cooking recipes my brain started to freeze and I felt completely clueless. This was nagging me at times and... » read more

The Forest And The Trees
By Malte Doerper - 25 Aug, 2016 - Comments: 0

If you’re deep into the details, it can be hard to see the bigger picture of what lies ahead. There is a saying for this, of course, which everyone knows: “He can’t see the forest for the trees.” So the solution is to rise above the trees to gain a better view. Interestingly, many benefits for using virtual prototypes for early software development result from the high level of a... » read more

Earthquake Proof Your Software Development
By Malte Doerper - 28 Apr, 2016 - Comments: 0

In this blog we tend to focus on the benefits and opportunities that arise when using virtual prototyping. However, in real life we well know that any situation bears not only opportunities but also risks. I was reminded of this by the recent earthquake disaster in Kumamoto Japan. Having lived in the most earthquake prone areas in the world for the past 10 years, I know firsthand how easy it is... » read more
