Duolog's Chip Integration Platform, Socrates, offers unrivalled cost savings and productivity gains to SoC, ASIC and FPGA developers
 |
As the scale and complexity of chip designs continues to expand and design flows become more compressed, efficient IP integration is becoming increasingly difficult. Inefficiencies, inconsistencies, misinterpretations and bugs plague the chip design flow taking weeks or months to complete a full-chip integration. |
|
Socrates is an intuitive Chip Integration Platform that solves chip integration challanges. It supports an integration-focused suite of tools that enable the auto-generation of vital elements of the system infrastructure in a correct-by-construction flow.This includes hardware and software views, design and verification views, ESL and implementation views.

Socrates Benefits
- Elimination of integration bugs : Comprehensive coherency checks are performed on all design data to ensure that it is consistent and robust. With single-source data and high-levels of automation, synchronisation bugs are eliminated
- Significantly reduced schedule : Extensive auto-generation of implementation views ensures rapid turn-around-time on incremental changes. Elimination of integration bugs ensures less design increments
- High-level resuse : Formalised IP data as well as assembly rules can be reused on new or derivative chips
- Standards-based : Full support for IP-XACT import/export ensures interopeability with 3rd party data or flows
- Non-Disruptive to existing flows : Standards-based interfaces and migration utilities allow legacy data to be utilised. Flexible generator framework means that output views can be aligned to existing design flow formats very quickly
- Multi-platform : Developed on the Eclipse platform, Socrates has a powerful and intuitive GUI and runs on Windows, Linux and Solaris systems. Third-party Eclipse plug-ins are supported
In addition to the Socrates Chip Integration Platform, Duolog provides an OCP Toolkit for realizing system performance. Duolog also provides services including design flow consultancy, and turnkey SoC Design services. For further information on Duolog products and services, please contact info@duolog.com
