The case for developing and using virtual platforms (VPs) has now been made. If developers
of complex HW/SW systems are not using VPs for their current design, complexity of next …

The evolution to Manycore platforms is real, both in the High-Performance Computing
domain and in embedded systems. If we start with ten or more cores, we can see the …

Virtual Prototypes (VPs) have been now widely adopted by industry as platforms for early
SW development, HW/SW co-verification, performance analysis and architecture …

The recent cuts being made in IT budgets across the globe can be attributed to any number
of modern day crises. For instance, organizations are still recovering from the recession …

Virtual computing laboratories provide remote user access to standardized computing
resources and enable many types of complex experiential and project-based learning …

This paper studies a new approach for board-level test based on synthesizable embedded
instruments implemented on FPGA. This very recent methodology utilizes programmable …

With the technological progress, new alternatives that help complement the activities carried
out in the educational context, such as virtual worlds have emerged. This paper presents a …

The design and test of Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoCs) including software is one
of the biggest challenges in today's system design. This applies in particular when short time …

This paper describes a software development process, especially proposed to support the
creation of virtual environments and applications. This process follows an iterative approach …

For decades Virtual Reality (VR) has remained out of our offices and everyday workflows
due to its high cost, its custom-built nature, and its often narrow design for highly specific …
