Software and System Development using Virtual Platforms : Full-System Simulation with Wind River Simics.
Virtual platforms are finding widespread use in both pre- and post-silicon computer software and system development. They reduce time to market, improve system quality, make development more efficient, and enable truly concurrent hardware/software design and bring-up. Virtual platforms increase prod...
