Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced it has
signed a preferred, long-term partnership agreement with Freescale
Semiconductor to deliver state-of-the-art, high-speed simulation
platforms for Freescale’s QorIQ® P-Series, AMP and QorIQ Qonverge™
product lines of multicore embedded processors. In support of this
partnership, Mentor® now offers a powerful virtual prototyping
environment and enabling technologies which allow Freescale
customers to achieve early, more efficient software integration and
accelerate their product delivery cycles.
Freescale’s broad offering of QorIQ products provides
industry-leading performance, price and power ratios across an
array of networking and other applications. Freescale’s QorIQ
product lines include:
- The widely adopted QorIQ P-Series,
which spans from single core devices consuming as little as 1.1
watts of power to the flagship, eight core QorIQ P4080, which
delivers 1.5 GHz per core performance within a tight power
envelope.
- The new QorIQ Advanced Multiprocessing
(AMP) processor series, incorporating a new, multithreaded 64-bit
Power Architecture® core, 28nm process technology, up to 24 virtual
cores, groundbreaking acceleration engines and sophisticated power
management to deliver up to 4x the performance of Freescale’s QorIQ
P4080 device.
- Freescale’s QorIQ Qonverge series of
base station-on-chip products, which share the same architecture to
address multi-standard requirements spanning from small to large
cells.
The Vista™ product from Mentor allows Freescale customers to
execute a variety of virtual prototyping platforms and efficiently
port, debug and optimize operating systems and application
software. The base SoC models are provided and validated by
Freescale and integrated and packaged in Vista libraries. These
Vista Virtual Prototype packages include the SoC HW model,
optionally integrated with Linux, and can be expanded by the
customer with a variety of standard and custom IPs and Physical
I/Os. The platforms can also scale to include timing and power
attributes to enable performance and power tradeoff analysis under
realistic use cases and software execution.
“As market requirements grow ever more demanding, our customers
increasingly face faster, tighter design cycles,” said Raja Tabet,
vice president, Software & Systems Networking and Multimedia
Group at Freescale. “The Vista Virtual Prototyping solution is
important for early delivery of our technology to key customers. We
see Mentor, with its virtual platform solution and embedded
software technology, as a key contributor to our broad ecosystem of
world class enablement solutions for our QorIQ families of
processors.”
“This preferred partnership with Freescale is strategic to our
company-wide ESL strategy,” said Guy Moshe, general manager, Design
Creation Business Unit at Mentor Graphics. “QorIQ processors are
built upon the most advanced architecture and technologies, and are
ideal for leveraging and deploying a Virtual Prototyping
methodology. We are working closely with many leading-edge system
companies, and we believe our partnership with Freescale helps to
efficiently drive and deploy our technologies to the benefit of our
mutual customers.”
About Vista
The Mentor Vista Virtual Prototyping solution is a
state-of-the-art platform for modeling and prototyping complex
hardware/software multicore systems early in the design cycle. The
Vista product offers a scalable modeling and simulation environment
based on market standards. The Vista platforms offer fast
multi-process simulation at close to real-time speeds with unique
debug and analysis toolsets. Customers can port and test software
execution on the virtual platform with a variety of control and
access capabilities to hardware execution, performance and power,
most of which are not feasible when running physical boards. The
Mentor Vista product allows software engineers to use a standard
software development environment to debug and optimize software on
target hardware more efficiently.
