Simics simulator for FPGAs is a full-system simulator supporting the definition, development, and deployment of virtual platforms. It is fast, accurate, scalable, and extensible.
The simulator runs unchanged target binaries in a fast and controllable way, providing an ideal environment for early software development and testing pre-silicon and post-silicon, and even post-availability.
The virtual platforms can be used throughout the product life cycle, from the earliest product architecture through design and evaluation, to firmware development, and OS bring-up, and finally to modeling actual customer systems and full-system integration.
With the Simics simulator, you can have your software available by the time that the new silicon arrives, reducing your product time-to-market.
