Achieving 5x battery life without any hardware changes: according to Deepak Shankar, Mirabilis Design’s founder, this is an example of the benefits that can be obtained through his company’s system-level architecture exploration solution, based on the VisualSim IP libraries
System-level architecture exploration is an increasingly important task for designers, especially when it comes to optimizing power or performance for complex SoC designs. Software company Mirabilis Design (Sunnyvale, CA) has chosen to address this specific area, through a system-level simulation platform – its flagship product VisualSim Architect – that employs IP libraries built in-house. In the last year and a half, the company has seen almost a 6x increase in revenue and almost a 15x jump in the number of customers (source: Mirabilis Design data), partly owing to the new remote collaboration needs brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Deepak Shankar, founder and Vice President of Technology at Mirabilis Design, has reiterated the key concepts of his company’s approach in the video interview he has recently given to EDACafe’s Sanjay Gangal. For this article, he has also answered a few additional questions.
