CoCentric System Studio

Synopsys Inc. tools and methodologies centered around concurrent development of complex hardware and software systems. System Studio enables designers to quickly create executable system specifications and efficiently implement them as hardware and software functions, using multiple domain-specific abstractions in a single C-based environment. It provides a major leap forward for customers in implementing a complete system-level to GDSII solution.

In the CoCentric System Studio, dataflow and extended hierarchical control models can be arbitrarily nested at any level of hierarchy. This capability is of particular relevance for applications such as digital communications, multimedia, and networking, where complex control mechanisms must be embedded in the data and signal-processing path. System Studio users can describe their systems directly in C/C++, including the recently announced SystemC language, as well as incorporate existing Verilog and VHDL blocks. Dataflow and control functions can be defined readily using a graphical user interface, and processor models can be included in the system description.

"Transparency" ranges from "black-box" to fully transparent. System Studio is ideally suited for design teams, small or large, where timely management, verification, and implementation of large-scale, complex system designs is mission-critical.
