Welcome to ImperasImperas (pronounced 'imp-ear-as') is an exciting start-up providing the best Virtual Platform and Virtual Prototyping solutions.On June 6th, 2008, Imperas announced a partnership with leading processor IP provider Tensilica to enable Tensilica Diamond cores to work with Open Virtual Platforms (OVP). The normal OVPsim download now includes encapsulation technology enabling the current range of Tensilica Diamond Cores to works in C based platforms in the same way as normal native OVP processor models. Read the press release by clicking here. To find out more about the encapsulation visit the OVP Library page or the OVP download page. Imperas will be exhibiting at the DAC in Anaheim the week of 8th June - so if you need to see demonstrations of the new Imperas products, or want to learn more about OVP - then please do visit us at DAC... On March 3rd, 2008, Imperas made much of its simulation and virtual prototyping technology public and freely available at no cost to users - providing the infrastructure for the future of software virtual platforms and enabling the next generation of embedded software development. This initiative, called Open Virtual Platforms enables embedded software development to be done on virtual platforms. The technology is free to use and there is a free simulator downloadable. Read the press release by clicking here. To see the support that OVP is getting from industry users, processor IP providers, and tool vendors click here. To visit the website and download the free simulation and see how to very easily build your own simulations of your embedded platforms click here. The future of System on Chip architectures is to have more and more processors, initially being loosely coupled, but longer term with applications split over many tightly coupled processors. Software for these multi-core chips will become the worst nightmare the chip industry has faced - already software is the most expensive part of high end chips and multi-core just exacerbates this. These future chips require a whole new generation of tools to develop them and Imperas was created to solve these challenges. With initial products focusing on ease of verification, debug, and analysis for software virtual plaltforms that involve multiple processor cores, Imperas provides a development environment to enable complex software to be developed and debugged for MPSoCs easily and efficiently. Key to the Imperas product's effectiveness is the ease of getting models into the environment and the ability to work with all leading software development tools. Imperas products make you more efficient with your existing tools. Fast Virtual Platforms with flexible MP Debug are the key to the development of complex software on multi-core devices and Imperas technology now part of the Open Virtual Platforms initiative provides the most advanced solutions - really helping customers get working software with their silicon into products quickly. If you need a software development environment that will simulate and run your multi-core software in the 500 MIPS range with full multicore debug capabilities then you need to be using Open Virtual Platforms. Imperas sells its products worldwide with an engineering base in UK. If you are facing challenges of getting software to run on complex multi-core platforms - then contact us at info@imperas.com. |
