Revolutionizing Embedded Software Development

Imperas is now a part of Synopsys

Imperas Presents at TVS 2014 Virtual Platform Software Simulation for Enhanced Multi-core Software Verification

Imperas CEO, Simon Davidmann presented a paper at the TVS Software Testing Conference in March 2014. This presentation discussed the use of Virtual Platforms for embedded software development, discusses how high performance simulation can find bugs quicker, and demonstrates the Imperas parallel simulation technology QuantumLeap. Imperas tools are also discussed and a case study of using them to find bugs in OS porting is presented.

    M*SDK, the OVP APIs and the OVP library of models have been a great asset to the FlexTiles project, enabling us to quickly create a virtual platform for our advanced architecture. We were able to use the Imperas technology and tools to develop multiple demonstrations of the FlexTiles architecture, including multiple hardware configurations, the Network on Chip (NoC) developed in this project and the operating system and software tools for FlexTiles.

    Given the wide variety of customer applications for our SoC FPGAs, our software stacks require rigorous and comprehensive testing.  Imperas' M*SDK has proven to be an outstanding environment for the validation and analysis of operating systems, drivers and firmware. Verification using the Imperas solution not only accelerates software bug discovery, but also provides a rapid understanding of the root cause of problems.
