The data- and cycle-accurate simulation model is offered as part of IDT's software development kit (SDK) that includes a comprehensive suite of software tools that aid designers' time to market, lower system cost, and increase system performance.
IDT's systems-oriented solution targets applications requiring line rates up to OC-192, such as core, metro, and access routers and Layer 4-7 switches.
IDT's 75K134FOM simulation model, provided as a Windows 2000 dynamic link library (DLL), is a software model of its IP coprocessor that seamlessly interfaces to the Intel IXP2400 and Intel IXP2800 network processors.
Design teams using the model can begin software optimisation and verification in parallel with hardware development with the confidence that code written in the simulation environment will transfer to the actual hardware system, accelerating time to market.
The model also offers designers the opportunity to quantify the exact performance improvements of their system when using specific IP coprocessor-based architectures.
It replicates all internal resources and commands while providing robust error checking to detect misprogramming for designers in the system's formative stages.
IDT's simulation model is fully customisable, and simulates within any system configuration, including serial cascading, parallel cascading and associated data SRAM.
"The combination of our data-plane code development, control-plane code, and system development tools with IDT's simulation model provides designers the most comprehensive tool set for an unparalleled time to market advantage", said Doug Davis, general manager of the Intel Network Processor Division.
IDT works closely with Intel as a member of the Intel IXA Developer Network and is committed to supporting the Intel IXA.
