Duolog's Socrates tool suite offers unrivalled cost savings and productivity gains to SoC, ASIC and FPGA developers

As the scale and complexity of chip designs continues to expand, the integration of the various components of the system is becoming increasingly difficult. Inefficiencies, inconsistencies, misinterpretations and bugs plague the areas of Interface definition, IP connectivity, Register Management and I/O Multiplexing.

Socrates is an intuitive design environment for SoC integration. It supports a modular suite of tools that enable the designer to capture, validate and generate vital elements of the system infrastructure: Socrates Spinner I/O Fabric Generator Socrates Bitwise Register Management Socrates Weaver IP Packaging & Connectivity Customer-specific Socrates applications

Socrates Benefits

• Single Source : Engineering teams are always aligned as they draw all of the information they require from a single data source
• Perfect-by-Construction : Comprehensive checks are performed as data is being entered, and before any outputs are generated, to ensure that the design data is consistent and robust
• Multiple Outputs: Documentation, code, statistics and any other required outputs are auto-generated at the click of a button
• Customisable Generators : Template-based generator framework means that standard generators are fully customisable and new generators are quickly and easily created
• Standards-based : Full support for IP-XACT import/export eliminates tool vendor dependencies
• 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
• Non-disruptive : We provide automated import utilities for your legacy data and custom generators that mimic your existing flow outputs so that all the benefits of Socrates can be realised without disrupting your existing flows

In addition to the Socrates tool suite, 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
