Carbon SoC Designer is a solution for the development, execution, and analysis of virtual system platforms. Carbon SoC Designer provides a virtual platform for architectural analysis as well as pre-silicon hardware/software integration. SoC Designer provides mix of the accuracy, performance, and flexibility to model complex systems and perform the analysis required to make critical design decisions.

Carbon Model Studio is a solution for the automatic generation, validation, and execution of hardware-accurate software models. Carbon Model Studio enables the rapid creation of cycle-accurate and implementation-accurate models compiled from your "golden" RTL. These Carbonized models are easily integrated into all popular platform environments, and support secure distribution to your design chain.

It is important to be able to use your hardware models in your choice of system environments. Carbon Model Studio was architected from the ground up to support any system simulation platform so there’s no need to develop unique models for each platform.

Carbon Model Studio’s Replay Plug-in enables software running on a Carbon Model to be rapidly iterated and debugged.  Replay leverages the debug methods used by software engineers to accelerate system integration. 

Carbon Model Studio’s OnDemand plug-in dramatically improves the performance of system platforms containing Carbon Models while still retaining 100% cycle accuracy.  OnDemand analyzes system model behavior and eliminates execution of idle components to improve overall system execution.
