Designers of large systems frequently face two challenges: simulation gets painfully slow and target hardware is not available yet for testing. ALDEC developed hardware-software co-simulation solution that can help. After installing special hardware board in the workstation, designer can push well tested and resource hungry design blocks into hardware and co-simulate with the remaining portion of the design still in the ALDEC simulator to experience significant acceleration of verification. If the ASIC design is almost ready, it can be partitioned into one or more FPGA-based boards and verified using the same testbench suite and emulated hardware.
