Abstract :
IP reuse is essential in embedded SoC design, but IP components can use different modeling languages and present heterogeneous interfaces. To efficiently integrate these heterogeneous components, the Tangram environment supports the remote evaluation of IP components, implementing the virtual integration of these components into distributed cosimulation models.
