WHY: This informative lunch panel brings together a unique combination of thought leaders in electronic systems, software, and semiconductors for a lively discussion on the economic impact of ESL, SystemC and transaction-level modeling (TLM). Attendees will learn why the release of the OSCI TLM-2.0 standard is important to them and how organizations are using it today to increase design success and improve productivity. Panelists will also venture predictions on the future of TLM-2.0 and how it can create new value by enabling significantly earlier architecture definition and software development for SoC designs.

Virtutech Sponsors Special Workshop on New OSCI TLM-2.0 Standard
WHAT: Virtutech will sponsor the workshop “OSCI TLM-2.0 in 2008—A Leap Forward for Transaction-Level Modeling Standards.”
WHY: This workshop presents details of the finalized OSCI TLM-2.0 standard, which marks the culmination of several years of intensive work by the OSCI TLM Working Group. TLM-2.0 explicitly addresses the interoperability of memory-mapped bus models at the transaction level and provides a foundation and framework for the transaction-level modeling of other protocols.

GreenSocs Leads Tutorial on Efficient Modeling for TLM-2.0
WHAT: GreenSocs will conduct a breakfast tutorial, “Writing Efficient TLM-2.0 Models with GreenSocs,” which also will encompass the new Virtutech SystemC Bridge. This tutorial is sponsored by Virtutech, Circuit Sutra, CoFluent Design, and ESLX.
WHY: The result of intensive work by members of the OSCI TLM Working Group, the TLM-2.0 standard has already been met with an extremely positive response by the ESL community. However, the new Virtutech SystemC Bridge provides even more comprehensive model support, which is especially important for engineers building complex multicore processors.

EVE Demonstrates Virtutech’s Simics Simulated Environment at Booth #301
WHAT: EVE, leader in hardware/software co-verification, will demonstrate how its RTL testbenches using the fast TLM-based commercial simulator Simics connected to EVE’s ZeBu™ product.
WHY: Running in a complete virtual environment enables easy software development, testing and retesting of RTL implementations without the cost of creating a complete RTL simulation. EVE’s ZeBu implemented an RTL model of a PCI Express device, connected to Virtutech’s Simics x86 fast functional simulator, which will be demonstrated at booth #301.
DETAILS: DAC Conference booth #301 – Anaheim, CA
About Virtutech
Virtutech, Inc. is the leader in product development process improvement
through virtualized software development (VSD). Virtutech Simics™
allows for a revolutionary change in the product development process at
a full system level rather than a component level and is the only
commercial solution that delivers the four most important criteria for
successful deployment of hardware virtualization in the electronics
equipment development process: speed, scalability, model availability,
and control. Simics customers report reduced time to market, better
project risk management, lower capital expenditure, product development
cost and maintenance as well as increased quality and individual
productivity. Virtutech serves the needs of the world ’ s
leading OEMs in the high-performance computing, aerospace and defense,
telecommunications, networking and semiconductor industries. Customers
include Cisco, Ericsson, Freescale Semiconductor, GE Avionics,
Honeywell, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Nortel, Northrop Grumman, MontaVista
and Wind River. Virtutech is an active participant in organizations to
drive adoption of VSD such as ARM Connected Community, Eclipse.org, IBM
PartnerWorld, Power.org, OSCI and Spirit Consortium. Virtutech is
headquartered in San Jose, Calif. For more information, visit
