Tensilica Introduces TurboXim Fast Functional Simulator 40-80x Faster than ISS, Automatic SystemC Model Generation

Tensilica announced the new TurboXim fast functional simulator, which is 40 to 80 times faster than Tensilica’s proven cycle-accurate ISS (Instruction Set Simulator).

Tensilica also introduced its ability to automatically generate SystemC models to match all possible configurations of its Xtensa configurable processors and Diamond Standard series processors.

These introductions significantly speed ESL (embedded system level) design and architectural exploration for SOC (system-on-chip) design using one or more Xtensa configurable processors or Diamond Standard processors.
