An executable model that predicts performance and power on the target use cases, for a single system or for a shared platform and the derivative products planned on it, used to compare architecture and partitioning options before the hardware is designed.
Model Work product in the System development lifecycle and the Platform and derivative products lifecycle
It lets the team test architecture choices against real workloads before committing to chips, boards or a shared platform. Choices made without it rest on datasheet figures that rarely reflect real behaviour, and on a platform a wrong choice is repeated in every derivative built on it.
The full lifecycle detail, with its charts, flows, tables and every section, is for registered members. Registration is free and takes a minute. You come back to this page afterwards.
