Can hardware and software be developed for SoCs independently, or are the two so tightly coupled they must be developed concurrently? Can modeling the "system" wait until actual silicon is available, or must it be done with better tools at the architecture stage before the SoC is created?

Predicting the future is a hazardous endeavor, but tracking trends can at least provide a glimpse of what is to come. A key trend in embedded systems is the increasing need for reduced power consumption, which is driven by demand for portable devices, higher energy costs and environmental pressures. The role of embedded software and real time operating systems in delivering power reductions on target embedded hardware is not obvious. In this session the key factors will be reviewed in detail.

This EE Times virtual conference focused on multicore which is one of the biggest challenges design engineers currently face which is deciding when to adopt multicore processors in their designs and what implications that has for the software tools they will need to use. Visit the Synopsys booth to learn how virtual platforms can solve your multicore software development challenges, download the whitepapers and webinars.

For the programmer and system developer, this E-Cast offers a real-time look at multicore technology from the perspectives of a virtual platform vendor, a processor vendor, an ESL solution provider and an operating system and hypervisor software vendor.

The challenge for EDA tool vendors in attacking electronic system level (ESL) design can be simply stated - provide the tools and methodologies that let system-on-chip (SoC) designers use abstract, system-level models to create implementation-ready (RTL) descriptions of their desired hardware. The challenge for designers, on the other hand, is in negotiating their through the variety of point tools offered by many vendors who've staked out a position in the ESL tool market. This webinar will place the sponsors current offerings in perspective and provide some insight into ESL adoption.
