VisualSim Technology IP blocks form a comprehensive library that aids rapid construction of models for a systemic exploration of semiconductor applications. These IP blocks, over 150 in number, encapsulate detailed behavior attributes, timing, cycle accuracy, and power models necessary to accurately simulate system internals. This library caters to a vast array of engineering needs by providing blocks ranging from processor models like ARM and Power8 to complex interfacing buses like AMBA and PCIe. They offer a detailed depiction of system-level interactions that aid in evaluating potential bottlenecks and performance trade-offs.
Each IP block is meticulously crafted based on standard specifications or vendor datasheets, ensuring authenticity and high fidelity in simulations. These models not only define functionality but also encapsulate logical flows, buffers, and error recovery mechanisms. By providing visibility into the internals (with some blocks being open-source), these blocks enable users to modify and adapt systems as needed to meet specific design requirements. This adaptability makes them an indispensable resource for thorough system validation and optimization.
The IP blocks are crafted to align with existing and emerging technology standards, ensuring compatibility and support for a range of both current and legacy architectures. They also embed versatile parameter sets that allow users to explore every possible configuration and system behavior, from basic buffer size to intricate signal timing and arbitration schemes. The polymorphic nature of these blocks allows for easy integration with other system components, ensuring efficient and effective connectivity through standardized interfaces.
