Veloce HYCON is an evolution to traditional virtual platforms

Veloce HYCON stands for Hybrid and Configurable and references the set of configurable reference platforms that customers can evolve to be their own custom HW/SW platform enabling benchmark and SW workload runs very early in the design cycle. By executing software workloads, such as benchmarks and SW applications at the very early stage of the design cycle, Siemens is executing on the shift left promise and increasing the chance of first pass silicon success.

Key benefits:

• Enabling a software-driven design methodology for SOCs
• Provides a reference SW and HW Platform that customers can use on day one
• Applications and benchmarks optimize HW and SW together
• Produce full-system power estimates and optimization pre-silicon in the context of real applications
• Allows for Multiple Use Models
• Driver development and IP Validation
• SW Validation on a Hybrid SOC Platform
• Early Power and Performance Analysis in a complete SOC environment using real workloads
• Bridge the discontinuity between different levels of abstraction
