CoWare, the leading supplier of electronic system-level (ESL) design software and services, has aligned the strategic technologies it has developed and acquired into four key solutions for collaborative platform-driven ESL design: SoC platform capture and architecture exploration, custom processor design, virtual hardware platform creation, use and distribution and algorithm design. Instead of choosing individual tools and technologies, our customers have been increasingly viewing CoWare as their primary ESL design solution vendor.
