Abstract

Virtual prototyping as an embedded system design techniquehas the potential to significantly increase efficiency ofthe design process. An environment for automatic generationof virtual prototypes (VPs) directly from algorithmic-leveldescriptions is presented here. It is implemented aspart of a unified design methodology and produces VSIAcompliant VPs. When applied to an industrial design flowof a UMTS receiver, this environment for automatic generationof VPs produced significant speedups over traditionalmanual VP creation, with savings in the order of hundredsto thousands of person-hours.
