Virtual Platforms Co-Emulation becoming reality!
Virtual Platforms and Hardware Emulation are finally coming closer!
Cadence recently announced (end of April 2010) a partnership with embedded software dealer Wind River Systems and extended Palladium XP to offer unified verification solutions for SoCs. Incisive software extensions and Wind River's Simics Virtual Platform have been combined to enable co-emulation with Virtual platforms seamlessly. Cadence has joined the bandwagon of application driven approach to system design
and development.
I see it as a solid step of convergence of various platforms. Synopsys already is leading the pack with their flurry of VP acquisition and strong hold in VCS design simulations. But Synopsys lacks Emulation bench strength with HAPS marketshare and lack of co-emulation solution. Other strong players in Emulation industry are EVE & Mentor, I'd expect to see future announcements around co-emulation.
