Making the Right Architectural Decisions
Wednesday, May 6
11:00am - 12:00pm PDT

Hello

I would like to invite you to a complimentary web
seminar, "Making the Right Architectural Decisions" on
Wednesday, May 6th from 11:00am to 12:00pm PDT.
Understanding what your system really needs to do
before you build it is fundamental to success in
developing today's complex systems. During the design
processes many decisions need to be made and sometimes
they have dramatic effects on the RTL. In this session
we will walk through a architectural design example to
learn the value of doing system level analysis.

To address these issues system level design techniques
are being used to create Transaction Level Models,
TLMs, of the system that allow designers to make
intelligent decisions between implementation choices
before committing to the architectural choices in an
RTL implementation.

Some of the steps include:

* Creation of a system level transaction model
* Simulation of the TLM to approximate system
processing and traffic
* Debug the platform to achieve confidence that it is
appropriately modeling the system activity
* Analysis of the system to identify bottlenecks and
potential tradeoffs in performance and power
consumption
