Introduction
Duolog Technologies(http://www.duolog.com/)has been working on chip integration since 2002 and has delivered a wide range of innovative integration solutions since that time. We have continually promoted IP standardization, enhanced design quality and inter-team communications and we have by far the best integration solutions in the industry. Duolog has also developed a HW/SW integration/verification methodology that delivers an order of magnitude improvement in quality and productivity over today’s alternative solutions.
Recently Cadence Design Systems released their vision for EDA entitled "EDA360 - The Way Forward for Electronic Design" where they present an emerging focus on integration as a key solution to bridging the productivity and profitability gaps that plague today’s complex SoC products.
In this document we introduce Duolog’s Socrates chip integration platform, a hub for standards-based IP integration. By enabling high-quality design, IP reuse and high-level integration we will show how Socrates helps to realize the EDA360 vision.
