Siemens works with Arm and AWS to unlock automotive innovation

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that its PAVE360-based solution for automotive digital twin is now available on AWS.

Expanding on the strong partnership between Siemens and AWS, PAVE360 helps foster innovation in the automotive industry through hardware and software parallel development, “shifting-left" the design phase of SDV.

With a parallel approach, developers can compress the design cycle time and accelerate time to market. In addition, Siemens has collaborated with Arm to help enable developers to access Arm-based technology running on Siemens’ PAVE360 Digital Twin solution via AWS cloud services.

Automakers are 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 modelling and simulation infrastructures.

“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),” said Mike Ellow, executive vice president for EDA global sales, services and customer support at Siemens Digital Industries Software.

“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 organisational efficiencies that are simply not available through today’s traditional development methods.”
