Siemens to demonstrate first pre-silicon simulation environment

11 Apr 2024 CW Team

Following the initial announcement of its collaboration with Arm and AWS in late 2023, Siemens is now supporting key Arm ecosystem partners. The integration of select partner enablement solutions to the cloud-based development platform will allowtier one suppliers and OEMs to develop early software for Arm?s new Cortex-A720AE IP, a break from the tradition of waiting for silicon before being able to develop software for the latest semiconductor IP. This empowers automotive software teams to shift-left, by providing extremely fast cloud-based simulation speeds for iterative pre-silicon software development, debug and validation long before first silicon availability.

?The automotive industry?s move to the software defined vehicle means that traditional software and hardware development processes are no longer valid and must evolve to meet the industry?s demands,? said Mike Ellow, Executive Vice President, Electronic Design Automation, Siemens Digital Industries Software. ?Our partnership with Arm, supporting an accelerated simulation environment with Cortex-A720AE CPU,is helping to address automotive industry challenges by reducing time-to-market for SDV software through the availability of accelerated automotive platforms well ahead of silicon.?

By delivering a PAVE360 cloud-based software development solution on AWS cloud services, developers can experience simulation speeds that rival those of evaluation boards and remove the reliance on conventional slow on-premises modeling and simulation infrastructures. The solution is available today to select software ecosystem partners, tier-one suppliers and OEMs, with broad availability planned afterwards.

?The driver experience is being redefined by a surge of software requirements and AI advances, and as vehicle electronics become increasingly complex automakers have to continue to innovate at pace,? said Dipti Vachani, senior vice president and general manager, Automotive Line of Business, Arm. ?By collaborating on new virtual platforms with industry leaders like Siemens, we?re putting our latest Automotive Enhanced technologies into the hands of software developers way ahead of silicon availability to dramatically accelerate time to market for the industry.?

Hyderabad Financial District Evolves into a City Within a City

The Financial District in Hyderabad is rapidly transforming into more than just a business hub—it is evolving into a “city within a city,” a compact ecosystem where work, home, education, healthcare, and lifestyle coexist seamlessly. This vision was reinforced at a press conference hosted by ASBL, where data and insights highlighted why the Financial District has become one of India’s most resilient and future-ready real estate markets. Over the past four years, rental appreciation has consistently outpaced the city average, underlining genuine demand. In FY 2024–25 alone, 3BHK ..

India Sees 1 per cent Drop in Power Sector CO₂ Emissions

India’s carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector fell by 1 per cent year-on-year in the first half of 2025, marking only the second decline in nearly 50 years, according to a research report. The reduction was largely driven by record clean-energy capacity additions and lower electricity demand due to unusually mild weather, the analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) for Carbon Brief found.The Helsinki-based think tank attributed 65 per cent of the decline in fossil-fuel generation to slower demand growth, 20 per cent to faster expansion of clean energy, and..
