Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a leader in global
electronic design innovation, today announced a broadening of its
existing collaboration with ARM to develop an optimized System
Realization solution for ARM processors that will enable an
end-to-end flow including a full set of interoperable tools, ARM®
processor and physical IP, services and methodology from embedded
Linux to GDSII. To accelerate adoption of this solution, Cadence
will provide a full complement of tutorials and education materials
including two methodology reference books and extend their
ecosystem of service, methodology and training providers.
"As software complexity continues to escalate driving system
costs up, industry leaders need to join forces to provide proven
and cost effective end-to-end design solutions," said Mike Muller,
ARM, chief technology officer. "Only a comprehensive approach from
application software through silicon can successfully address the
challenges facing our design community. This collaboration with
Cadence will not only address the rapidly rising cost of integrated
hardware and software system development, but will also accelerate
time-to-market for next-generation consumer products."
To deliver this solution, Cadence will take the following
actions:
- support embedded software optimized for ARM processor-based
devices in the company's recently announced IP stacks
- enhance the interoperability of ARM tools and IP including ARM
DS-5 and RealView® Development Suite, Fast Models, and VSTREAM
transactor with Cadence Virtualization technologies
- expand its existing collaboration on AMBA IP-VIP pairs and
interconnect fabric, and reference methodologies for design,
verification, and implementation
"As our business is expanding into the mobile market segment,
ARM processor-based designs are becoming a larger part of our
development," said Narendra Konda, director, Hardware Engineering
at NVIDIA. "The Cadence/ARM collaboration provides the right
approach for the industry by addressing application-driven flow.
This integrated flow will help us to improve our system validation
process which is one of the most critical components for our
success."
Beyond its work with ARM, Cadence is extending the System
Realization ecosystem through new collaborations with service,
methodology and training providers that will help accelerate
customers' deployments of system-level solutions. The new companies
include Australian Semiconductor Technology Company (ASTC), Chubu
Toshiba Engineering Corp, CircuitSutra, CM Engineering Co. Ltd.,
HDLAB Inc., NIPPON SYSTEMWARE CO. LTD., and Toshiba Information
Systems (Japan). The full list of members can be found at

"Cadence continues to build our System Realization solution
through collaboration with others and delivery of new
methodologies," said John Bruggeman, chief marketing officer,
Cadence. "The Cadence and ARM solution will combine industry
leading IP to help break down the cost and development barriers
that are preventing consumer devices from achieving breakaway
market success. ARM IP is prevalent in current and future consumer
devices, and the jointly developed solution will unleash new,
compelling innovation."
To further help customers achieve efficient, cost-effective
adoption of System Realization aspects, Cadence has developed the
industry's first transaction-level modeling (TLM) design and
verification methodology, available to the industry in its newly
published book titled, "TLM-driven Design and Verification
Methodology." To accelerate SoC integration and verification based
on the recently standardized Universal Verification Methodology
(UVM), Cadence also has released another new book titled, "A
Practical Guide to Adopting the Universal Verification Methodology
(UVM)." Together, they provide a pragmatic set of best practices to
help accelerate solution deployments.
