xISS Fast ISS

200+ MIPS Performance to Speed Software Development

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.

Debugger Integration for Productivity in Profiling and Verification

ARC xISS seamlessly works with GDB and the MetaWare Debugger. The debugger invokes a xISS simulation as a target: The xISS simulation operates within the debugger just as other hardware or software targets do, providing a stable and productive development platform.
