Socle Completes Si-Soft Project and Launches Design Platform Service for Integrated Evaluation Platform

Taipei -- January 4, 2006 –Socle – the leading design service provider of SoC design platform – just finished the “Design Platform Service Plan for Integrated Evaluation Platform”, which had gotten Si-Soft Project Approval from Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2004/Feb., recently and won the endorsement of Screening Committee in final approval stage. With this project, Socle can provide customers with the SoC integrated design & evaluation platform for designing optimized SoC and enhancing cost-performance ratio of product. Besides, this platform can also help customers to select the best system structure meeting product specification requirements correctly and reduce the workflow & cost of developing SoC product.

In the past, manual calculation was usually applied to the performance evaluation in initial stage of SoC product architecture design, so the accuracy was doubtful. After function design, it’s possible to test the prototype in virtual or physical hardware / software evaluation environment for getting more correct result. Once the original design architecture can’t meet system performance requirements, it should spend more time and cost in re-modification. Under Si-Soft project, Socle provides various platform architecture options (single-AHB & Multi-AHB) with the “Design Platform Service Plan for Integrated Evaluation Platform”. With web page format, customers can access Socle website through internet to select desiring SoC structure and evaluate SoC speed, area, testability & power, and so on in the very beginning stage. And then customers may choose optimized structure design for their own SoC based on target functions and product features, even know more about cost analysis. So it helps to reach the time-to-market goal quickly and fulfill different requirements of platform service from system companies, IP suppliers, and IC design houses by saving the resource and manpower cost of planning & developing product dramatically.
