Higher Abstraction Shift-Left partner to Semiconductor Industry
We support the semiconductor companies and the system companies for effective deployment of higher abstraction shift-left methodologies – SystemC/TLM2.0, C, C++, Python, IP-XACT, Portable Stimulus, UPF3.0
We work with customers through various business models
Time & Material
We set up high performing modelling teams, to work as an extension of the customer’s global teams
- Remote: ODC at CircuitSutra office
- Onsite: Client office in INDIA & USA
Billing is done on a monthly basis as per the mutually agreed rate card.
Turnkey Projects
We execute end to end turnkey projects for the customers, when the scope of work is well defined.
Deliverables and payments are linked to mutually agreed milestones.
Joint R&D
The domain is continuously evolving, and requires continuous research and innovation.
We jointly work with our customers & partners for the research and development of novel advanced shift-left methodologies. In such joint development projects, we do co-investment and jointly own the intellectual property.
Why CircuitSutra
SoC Modelling requires unique skills which are a combination of computer science & semiconductors.
Most of our customers come with a chip design background, and are very comfortable in microarchitecture design using RTL, but are not used to object oriented programming at higher abstraction level using C++. Or sometimes it is the other way, customer teams have expertise in embedded software using C / C++, but no idea of chip design.
Just learning the language SystemC / C++ is not sufficient, it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of the abstraction level required for specific use cases. Models for virtual prototyping will be quite different from models for performance analysis or high-level synthesis. Companies struggle to see the benefits of these methodologies, as the models they develop are not fully fine tuned for their specific use case, or they tend to develop generic models which they think can be used for all use cases.
Our in-depth understanding of these ESL methodologies combined with customer’s knowledge of their specific domains and SoC architecture, makes it a powerful combination and ensures the successful adoption.
We have a highly effective ramp up program through which we are able to groom the expert modelling professionals. Our re-usable modelling infrastructure, reference models and reference virtual platforms are utilized in this ramp up.
Our Team: comes with an in-depth understanding of modelling concepts, abstraction
- Strong Foundation skills: C, C++, SystemC, TLM, SoC architecture, Digital, Simulation
- Can ramp-up quickly on customer’s environment Modelling – Tools, Language, Methodology, SoC Specs, Use Case
We are the only company which is 100% focused on and understands all the aspects of higher abstraction shift-left.
