Synopsys Demonstrates Software Development for big.LITTLE Processing at DesignWest
Synopsys, Inc. will be presenting its VDK Family for ARM® Cortex™ Processors software development solution at DesignWest. The VDK Family for ARM Cortex Processors contains multiple reference designs, sample software stacks and analysis and debug software tools for the Cortex-A15 MPCore processor and ARM big.LITTLE processing. Learn how software developers can use the VDKs to speed software bring-up and gain better debug control for quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore™ processor and ARM big.LITTLE™ processing-based designs.
Visit the ARM Partner Pavilion to see a demonstration or attend the joint Android Summit technical session with Synopsys and ARM at DesignWest 2012.
Topics to be Covered:
How to accelerate software development up to 12 months before board availability
How to best utilize ARM big.LITTLE processing performance and energy efficiency capabilities
How to run multicore/multicluster software debug and analysis

Session Description:
Software Development for Android on ARM big.LITTLE processing SoCs Using Virtual Prototypes
As devices get more and more complex, developing software for those devices becomes increasingly complex. While big.LITTLE processing offers a way to balance high performance through the use of the ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore processor with power efficiency by migrating software tasks to the ARM Cortex-A7 MPCore processor to extend battery life, these processors challenge software developers to keep up and both utilize the available compute power while being power conscious. With the right set of models, virtual prototypes offer a unique platform view to the software developer to ease the software development for these multi-core designs. They moreover provide unique capabilities to make sure that software developers correctly utilize the available Android control functions to deliver a smooth user experience while minimizing power consumption.
