AMCC and Virtutech Extend Simics Modeling Pact

Promise enhanced modeling for new Power Architecture processors

By P J Connolly

January 15, 2008 — As the pressure to reduce time-to-market for networked devices continues, many systems designers are requiring improved performance from their models.

In attempting to address these needs, Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC) and Virtutech announced last month that they had agreed to expand their partnership and to provide simulation tools for AMCC’s forthcoming Power Architecture-based processors that are based on Virtutech’s Simics simulation tools.

“We are seeing a strong trend within our customer base towards a greater use of fast system simulation, driven by the increased complexity of their products and the need to isolate complete system-level data flows early in the design cycle,” noted AMCC vice president of marketing Sam Fuller in a prepared statement. “Our customers also need to perform early analysis of their system performance, based on real network traffic, which can be achieved through the use of Virtutech’s Simics,” he added.

Virtutech already provides models based on its Simics technology for the AMCC PowerPC 405 and 440 families. Under the new arrangement, AMCC will work with Virtutech to provide Simics models as early as possible in the development cycle, perhaps even before the general availability of new designs.
