synopsys announced the launch of virtualizer native execution on arm-based hardware, aimed at accelerating software-defined product development for automotive, high-performance computing (hpc), and internet of things (iot) applications. this innovation enhances virtual prototype execution, allowing developers to optimize software workflows and reduce time to market.

the key benefits include:
- faster validation and simulation execution speeds using arm application processor cores.
- early software development integration with synopsys' extensive model libraries.
- hybrid prototyping support with synopsys zebu systems for software-based power estimation and architecture performance analysis.
- full system-level validation using digital twins for improved product testing.
- flexible deployment options on cloud or on-premise arm-based infrastructure such as aws, google, microsoft, nvidia, and ampere.

suraj gajendra, vice president of automotive product and software solutions at arm, emphasized that this tool enables developers to leverage arm-based cloud and edge computing, accelerating software development and reducing costs.

the virtualizer native execution suite is now available. more details can be found at [synopsys](https://www.synopsys.com/virtualizer).
