Challenge

Demonstrate POC of the intended complex architecture to deliver the desired results
Time line - 4 months

Key Activities

• Demonstrate architecture capabilites before the hardware is ready
• Start software development in parallel with hardware
• Test the new processor and system architecture
• Model system using ISS for software development
• Model system (cycle accurate) for performance analysis, optimization

Client did extensive analysis of various ESL design platforms and zero-in on SANKHYA Teraptor

Results

• Virtual platform up and running within 6 weeks
• Automated verification helped hardware design team quickly target and fix critcal defects each day
• Application demo ported within 10 weeks
• Cycle aware platform helps to fine tune and optimize system parameters
• Client achieved all the major objectives of their projects within 16 weeks of starting the project

Tools Licensed: Teraptor Designer, Player and Core Channel

Benefits on ROI

• About 8 to 12 months effort by 6 to 8 member team, reduced to 4 months
• Effort by 2 member team - More than 80% savings
• Client has a solid innovation platform for any future activities
