HSI is a critical capability that now has the full attention of the Accellera PSWG and whose absence results in extra work for companies that want to adopt Portable Stimulus tools without some form of ...

Before there was a mainstream open standard Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) like RISC-V, a computer processor's software/hardware interface was generally defined by processor architects. The ...

Traditional methods of hardware software co-verification use either the industry standard accelerators/emulators or the instruction set simulators. Both the methodologies are well proven and are well ...

The concurrent design and verification of hardware and software has become a reality thanks to a plethora of resources in ESL flows, emulation, modeling and standards, and more. There once was a time ...

Designing hardware and software simultaneously is a key factor in reducing time-to-market. Although some vendors are talking about tools to facilitate the task, we still have a long way to go before ...

In today’s semiconductor landscape, scale is becoming a bigger battleground—not only for chipmakers, but increasingly for hyperscalers, cloud giants, and other systems companies, too. They're all ...

From the earliest days of my career, when designing chips, I have always navigated the interface between hardware and software for semiconductor design in my roles. My initial chip designs included ...

Impulse Accelerated Technologies, Inc. announced the newest edition of its CoDeveloper” C to RTL design tools, which adds support for Altera's SOPC Builder and the Quartus II, Version 4.1 design ...

Today’s SoCs for automotive safety-related systems integrate numerous IP blocks. At the system level, the Hardware Software Interface (HSI) between these IP blocks needs to be verified in simulation ...

Bosch will supply Kodiak with a variety of hardware components, including sensors and vehicle actuation components.

Here on Hackaday, we’re generally designers of hacks that live in the real world. Nevertheless, I’m convinced that some of the most interesting feats are at the mercy of what’s possible in software, ...

A hardware interface specifies the plugs, sockets, cables and electrical signals that pass through each line between the CPU and a peripheral device or communications network. It also stipulates which ...
