Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced that its PAVE360-based solution for automotive digital twin is now available on AWS. Building on the successful collaboration between Siemens and AWS, PAVE360’shifts-left’ the SDV design phase to promote innovation in the automotive sector by enabling concurrent development of hardware and software.
The company claims that developers may shorten the design cycle and speed up time to market by using a parallel method. Siemens and Arm have also partnered to make it possible for developers to use AWS cloud services to access Arm-based technology that powers Siemens’ PAVE360 Digital Twin solution.
Automakers will now able to develop software and evaluate key Arm-based system and software components earlier in their IP selection and design cycles, without the burden of conventional on-premises software, simply by accessing the PAVE360 solution available on AWS. This not only helps address the technology and commercial challenges ahead but also helps empower developers to gain a competitive advantage by shifting left hardware and software development, with unprecedented simulation speeds, enabling them to meet shrinking time-to-market requirements. By using AWS technology, developers can experience near real-time simulation speeds which are significantly faster than conventional on-premises modeling and simulation infrastructures.
Mike Ellow, Executive Vice President, EDA Global Sales, Services and Customer Support, Siemens Digital Industries Software, said, “The automotive industry is facing disruption from multiple directions, but the greatest potential for growth and new revenue streams is the adoption of the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV). The hyper-competitive SDV industry is under immense pressure to quickly react to consumer expectations for new features all while being pushed to move towards shorter software development cycles. This is driving the adoption of the ‘shift-left’ methodology for parallel hardware and software co-development and the move toward the holistic digital twin. Delivering PAVE360 on Arm-based AWS cloud services helps enable organizational efficiencies that are simply not available through today’s traditional development methods.”
Dipti Vachani, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Automotive Line of Business, Arm, said, “The software defined vehicle is survival for the automotive industry, requiring new technologies and methodologies for faster and more agile development. The innovative Siemens’ PAVE360 solution is helping to accelerate the automotive system development required to address the increasingly demanding consumer expectations. Together with Siemens and AWS, we are enabling a breadth of use cases on the Arm automotive platform across the entire supply chain, from IP evaluation to fleet management.”
Wendy Bauer, Vice President of Automotive and Manufacturing, AWS, said, “The proliferation of digital twin methodologies throughout the automotive industry uses the compute capabilities and world-class infrastructure of AWS. With PAVE360 mapping accurate embedded environments to optimal AWS instances while using Arm automotive enhanced IP, OEMs and suppliers are enabling software defined vehicle solutions and methodologies that were previously impractical.”
