A Pre-silicon Development & Analysis for SOAFEE to Accelerate Product Development

on YouTube ↗15m

" summary

Siemens delivers a pre‑silicon SOAFEE development environment that boots a SOAFEE‑compatible stack (EWA layers on Circle Flex octo‑based Linux) on configurable virtual hardware, with an IDE for debug, profiling and visualization. The demo runs two containers with CPU_ACC and CPU_REF backends on dual Cortex‑A78 and 8‑core Cortex‑A78 models via QEMU, measuring container startup (~9.6s vs 10s) and benchmark runtimes (CPU_ACC ~4.15s vs 4.03s) and showing parallelism gains and the run‑fast vs run‑accurate path to RTL/emulation/FPGA.
