ARC® xISS and ARC® xISS Turbo Instruction Set Simulators
Fast ARC xISS Instruction Set Simulations Provide 200+ MIPS Performance to Speed Software Development on ARC-Based™ Projects
ARC xISS and ARC xISS Turbo are high-performance instruction-set level simulations that increase software development productivity at every stage of ARC-Based product development. ARC xISS Turbo uses advanced Just-in-Time Compiler technology to produce 200+ MIPS (millions of instructions per second) performance, while ARC xISS provides affordable yet advanced ISS capability at ~20 MIPS performance. Whatever the project phase, ARC xISS products enable programming teams to meet challenging time-to-market requirements.

Highlights
ARC xISS Tools Accelerate Time to Market
- Fast (200+ MHz), configurable environment for ARC software development and tuning
- Outstanding programmer productivity via powerful, fast simulations of configurable ARC processors and subsystems
- ARC xISS simulators are user-configurable for processor choices made in the ARChitect Processor Configurator
- Shortened time to market by early software team engagement on application, OS, driver and utility development using high-performance instruction set simulator technology
- Ease of use and installation via tight integration with MetaWare tool flow
- Broadened availability of targets by using ARC xISS/xISS Turbo tools where cost or availability of first silicon/ARC emulation platforms is limited

Integration with the MetaWare Debugger for Productivity in Profiling and Verification
ARC xISS products seamlessly work with the MetaWare Debugger. The MetaWare Debugger invokes a xISS simulation as a target; xISS simulation operates within the debugger just as the other ARC targets do, providing a stable and productive development platform for targets. These range from the ARC xCAM cycle-accurate models to the ARCangel FPGA emulation platform to high-speed xISS simulations and actual production hardware.
