About

MachineWare is a Ger­man provider of high-per­for­mance vir­tu­al pro­to­typ­ing solu­tions. With SIM‑V, MachineWare pro­vides a scal­able, blaz­ing-fast RISC‑V instruc­tion set sim­u­la­tor for soft­ware bring-up tasks, such as develop­ment, debug, test and analy­sis. SIM‑V is based on MachineWare’s FTL proces­sor mod­el­ing toolk­it, which is eas­i­ly extend­able to model cus­tomized RISC‑V archi­tec­tures. Fur­ther­more, FTL’s retar­getabil­i­ty enables mod­el­ing of proces­sor archi­tec­tures beyond RISC‑V. For con­struct­ing a sim­u­la­tor of the entire sys­tem, a rich port­fo­lio of Sys­temC TLM‑2.0‑compatible hard­ware mod­els and tools is made avail­able with MachineWare’s open-source mod­el­ing library VCML. MachineWare’s prod­ucts and ser­vices enable their cus­tomers to com­plete soft­ware ver­i­fi­ca­tion ahead of sched­ule by reduc­ing soft­ware defects such as bugs and vul­ner­a­bil­i­ties. Hardware/software inte­gra­tion is stream­lined by pro­vid­ing a shared tool for both hard­ware and soft­ware design­ers early in the sys­tem design cycle.

Partnership

MachineWare offers high-per­for­mance sim­u­la­tors of entire elec­tron­ic sys­tems, so called Vir­tu­al Plat­forms (VPs), that exe­cute the unmod­i­fied tar­get soft­ware for develop­ment and ver­i­fi­ca­tion. MachineWare VPs inte­grate seam­less­ly with TASKING tools, enabling engi­neers to devel­op and test appli­ca­tions long before phys­i­cal pro­to­types become avail­able.
