Virtual prototyping involves using various technologies—from computer-aided design software to simulation tools—to create highly detailed prototypes before making the physical versions. Car ...

Experts at the Table, part 1: What’s different about virtual prototyping now; the growing emphasis on performance and power in software; time to market vs. better reliability. Spotts: We started ...

At CES 2026, Synopsys is presenting systems-to-silicon engineering solutions to support AI-driven, software-defined ...

The concept of the integrated development environment is gaining wide attention in the system-on-chip industry. When most people speak of an IDE, they are focused only on software, and indeed the ...

Earlier this year Cadence had announced two additions to their verification lineup. One was an FPGA prototype and the other was a virtual prototyping capability in the making that was to be launched ...

Electronic systems are no longer generic hardware blocks assembled into a system that executes the software. That time-honored hardware design approach proceeded without considering the application ...

Right now, embedded developers who choose Linux face a bombardment of "what if" questions: What if it doesn't work? What kind of technical support is available? What if it isn't robust enough? What if ...

While physical prototypes will not soon disappear, they’re certainly becoming a less prevalent part of the design cycle. Reduced costs and the rapid speed-to-market are the driving advantages. As for ...

Virtual prototyping platforms provide fast, fully functional software models and enable software engineers to develop production quality code much before the hardware can arrive in the lab. In theory, ...

Virtual prototyping conjures either confusion or relief, so it should come as no surprise that some chip designers are still confused about the different types of prototypes on the market. “Virtual ...
