Early SoC architecture modeling and the golden model

When targeting an FPGA for an SoC implementation, reimplementing the design takes a matter of days or even sometimes just hours. It involves changing the behavior of an RTL block or drop in a verified IP. Doing so when the target technology is an ASIC is a lengthy process with significant costs in terms of resources and budget.

We will introduce system modeling in the closing section of this chapter as it is part of the architecture development in general and it is also becoming a time-to-market solution for system implementations that take a long time to accomplish, specifically when targeting an ASIC technology. The industry is exploiting the availability of detailed system models of processors, interconnects, and all the IP elements of an SoC to build virtual SoCs. These are system models that emulate the functional behavior of an SoC in software simulation. Many frameworks are available that can put system models together...
