A UNIQUE SOFTWARE
The only software on the IT market that can convert and manipulate models oriented to virtual simulation
What is the HIF SUITE?
HIFSUITE is a software designed to handle the growing complexities of integrated embedded systems, both digital and analog.
This unique software allows you to convert and manipulate design models oriented to the effectiveness and efficiency of virtual simulations.
Superior Benchmark
We provide Benchmarks superior to traditional solutions both in terms of precision and speed and in terms of optimization and effectiveness of simulations.
Time reduction
Resetting the generation time of a high-level abstraction model
Reusing IP Cores
Reuse of ‘IP Cores’ already written in VHDL and Verilog languages in Virtual Platform contexts
Simplifying models
Easy alignment between low-level and high-abstraction models
Modelling of digital and analogue modules
Better management of the complexities of integrated embedded systems
Building new design flows
Generation of new automatic design flows thanks to the use of APIs that allow shaping models
TOOLS FOR ABSTRACTION AND OPTIMIZATION
HIFSUITE is a software whose development started in 2006 with the collaboration of the Department of Computer Science R&D of the University of Verona. The software has been updated and tested thousands of times before being placed on the market and its implementation has taken years and years of continuous development. The developers who worked on the project wanted to create something unique on the market that could solve the most important problems for designers and embedded developers.
- Developed, tested and updated since 2006
- Contains more than 260k lines of code
- Developed in collaboration with the University of Verona
- We provide testing and tangible evidence of its benefits in terms of time and cost

A tool designed to handle the growing complexities of integrated embedded systems, both digital and analog
The only software on the market that can manipulate and convert design models oriented to virtual simulation.
The software processes heterogeneous abstraction languages such as Verilog and VHDL, transforming them into an easily manipulated intermediate format (e.g. for fault simulations) and returning a high-level language such as System C or C++. This allows to zero the times to obtain an abstraction model able to be more performing and manipulable.
Simplifies and optimizes conversion processes for virtual simulation-oriented models
New design workflows
Realization of new design flows that use simulation as a tool for analysis, improvement and evolution.
- Fault tolerance verification
- Exploration of development alternatives
- Maintaining system functionality when modifying some components
Development of models for Virtual Platform
The software is able to simulate with absolute precision and speed scenarios of use of the product / service and to create models to be used in the Virtual Platform
- Fault simulation
- Malfunction simulation
- Quality simulation
Parallelizza SW e HW
Parallelize, thanks to Virtual Platforms, the development of software and hardware
- Creation of a simultaneous flow of development
- Drastic reduction in simulation time
