As always, we must continue to reduce the time-to-market of SoCs and complex systems. An FPGA prototype implementation of these systems can be used as a basis for early software or firmware development, hardware-software co-verification and system validation, and all this can be achieved before actual silicon is available. As FPGA prototyping systems can also be used as a platform to validate system level functionality and are fast enough to develop application code running on top of an OS, the adoption of FPGA prototyping systems is increasing.
An important part of system level validation is to ensure that the performance meets expectations and that the system is capable of supporting anticipated workloads. In order to validate critical
