The performance requirements of computing systems have been growing rapidly, year on year. Demand is further increased by the many new performance-demanding applications that are emerging across multiple market segments, such as machine learning (ML), computational photography and autonomous driving.

To deliver against high-performance requirements, systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) increasingly employ a large number of components, including multiple processors, accelerators and I/O devices. This significantly increases the complexity and the risks and costs of designing an SoC, making right-first-time development more important than ever.
