Accelerating Software Development for High Performance Chiplet...
summary
Describes building Synopsys Virtualizer VDKs that model a Tenstorrent chiplet, memory and PCIe IO, using TLM SystemC components and a licensed Escalon functional CPU model to boot Linux within minutes and cross‑compile tests with the GNU toolchain. Shows a concrete BDK flow from ROM to loader to OS, supports fault injection and customers adding their own TLMs, and speeds long runs by paralleling SystemC across hosts while approximating non‑software‑visible subsystems as sparse arrays or API stubs.
