Synopsys and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) announced that they will jointly launch a collaboration program for Synopsys' ZeBu Server-3 Emulation solutions Technology development with SoC and system design.
ZeBu servers deliver high performance, high capacity, scalability and support for industry-standard connection protocols to enable comprehensive system verification of complex automotive SoCs, as well as research into fault detection and recovery mechanisms designed to leverage ZeBu Server shortens the design cycle of automotive systems and improves design quality to meet industry standards.
Increasingly sophisticated automotive systems bring new verification challenges in terms of network physical systems, smart power management, and electronic component safety CEA List researchers have used ZeBu, the industry's fastest hardware simulation system, to handle these tasks , And the need to design more powerful hardware simulation systems for the new generation of cyber-physical systems for automotive applications.
As a result, CEA partnered strategically with Synopsys to establish a new joint lab that will focus on integrating ZeBu Server into a multi-physical simulation environment in automotive electronics with continued focus on verification and hybrid hardware simulations, as well as utilization The combination of ZeBu Server-3 and Synopsys Virtualizer and Platform Architect virtual prototyping solutions enables large-scale, hybrid co-simulation of ADAS applications.
The joint labs of both parties will focus on three major challenges: Automotive systems integrating physical components (sensors and actuators) and network components (electronic systems and their software) require validation of tools that can be used in the construction of multiple simulations, To perform complex, hybrid, common hardware simulations Perform on - line power estimation without affecting the speed of hardware simulations The energy budget and cooling required for the current E / E architecture must also be taken into account. Simulation provides speed and functional accuracy to establish a new method to improve design reliability.
The collaboration aims to shorten the automotive system design cycle and improve design quality to meet industry standards while creating new opportunities for the entire transportation industry by addressing the emerging validation needs of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) applications.
