AWS: Accelerating Software-Defined Vehicle Validation

In the AWS Automotive booth, #3901 in the West Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center, you can learn how Synopsys, AWS, MathWorks, and Elektrobit are collaborating to accelerate SDV validation through Synopsys virtual prototyping and electronic digital twins technologies running on AWS Cloud. The booth demo will showcase the creation of multi-abstraction digital twins for cloud-based testing, continuous integration/continuous deployment, and early software development and validation.

More software content in vehicles opens up the possibility of increased risk of failures. One way to mitigate these risks is through digital twins, or virtual representations of systems under development. Digital twins can be used to validate complex automotive systems and ECUs early in the design cycle, well before physical prototypes become available.

Continental: Enabling a Head Start on Vehicle Software Validation

Our collaboration with Continental is enabling engineers to virtually develop, test, and validate vehicle software for new SoCs in the cloud, up to 18 months faster than with traditional processes. for virtual electronic control units (vECUs) within their Automotive Edge () cloud-based development framework. Without having to wait for physical chips to be available before they begin software development, engineers can get a head start on their overall development cycle and mitigate software-related risks early on. Continental will demonstrate the CAEdge technology in their showcase at the Central Plaza across from the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Microsoft and Cognata: Facilitating Faster Development of Automated Driving Systems

Automated driving systems are among the many automotive systems that can benefit from the development and validation speed-up that digital twins provide. Synopsys technologies for digital twins¡ªincluding our virtual prototyping solutions for vECUs¡ªare being integrated with Cognata SimCloud digital twin-based simulation platform for AI-based training, testing, and validation. SimCloud, which runs on Microsoft Azure, is part of Microsoft¡¯s reference SDV development toolchain.

Cognata will demonstrate its Synopsys-enabled solution at Microsoft¡¯s Experience Center at the Wynn Hotel during CES. The demo will provide a look at the complete virtualization of traditional hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tasks in the cloud environment. With the Synopsys virtual ECU solutions, Cognata SimCloud, and Microsoft¡¯s SDV Cloud Infrastructure, automotive engineers can shift-left their AI-based training and validation of automated driving systems.

In addition to the above, Synopsys will showcase demonstrations with NXP at the NXP Pavilion and with Arm and Aurora Labs at the Venetian Hotel. For more information and to submit a meeting request, visit Synopsys at CES 2024.
