For the first time systems comprising complex hardware which includes many processors executing billions of software instructions may be simulated in minutes while maintaining detailed timing in hardware, software, and the interface between hardware and software. The Verilog and C code may be constructed separately. The tools integrate both descriptions automatically freeing hardware and software engineers from the requirement of being experts in both fields. Comet supports the concurrent development of Verilog and C code systems descriptions, C code compilation using GCC, incremental compilation, and interactive hardware and software debugging. The integrated toolset for the first time offer a real solution to systems designers confronted with building the ever increasingly complex designs involving hardware, operating systems and application code targeted at a variety of processors.

Private demonstrations may be arranged by appointment.
