## Resource

As systems become more software-defined, the traditional development model of waiting for hardware before serious software validation begins is no longer sustainable. Software teams need platforms earlier. Hardware teams need realistic workloads sooner. Verification teams need better ways to expose system-level issues before tapeout. We will look at how digital twins are becoming the shared foundation for this new HW/SW co-development model. Using virtual platforms, hardware emulation, and FPGA prototyping, teams can start earlier, collaborate more closely, and design/optimize/validate with greater confidence. We will also discuss new system-level verification challenges in power, performance, and DFT, showing how pre-silicon Hardware platforms can help teams find critical issues earlier and deliver more robust software-defined systems.
