Modern automotive electronics are swiftly shifting from single-function ECUs to high-performance computers hosting complex capabilities. With virtualization, OEMs and Tier Ones can achieve advanced testing and validation even before the target hardware becomes available. By creating a digital twin of the vehicle, software can be tested and refined in a cloud-based environment, dramatically accelerating deployment cycles and enhancing overall system reliability.
Tata Elxsi offers unmatched expertise in ECU Virtualization, enabling early SIL testing and sensor virtualization. From powertrain to ADAS applications, our proven frameworks accelerate Software-Defined Vehicle initiatives, reduce hardware dependencies, and optimize engineering costs across the entire automotive lifecycle.

Tata Elxsi's Virtualization Solution Framework
Our service framework includes building SystemC TLM or QEMU-based SOC models, integrating them with legacy or AUTOSAR software, and deploying them on a cloud platform. This diagram illustrates how virtualization and digital twin creation converge to enable collaboration, faster validation, and reduced development costs. Tools like Synopsys Silver, dSPACE VEOS, and Vector vVirtualTarget enhance HPC architectures for next-generation automotive solutions.
Early Validation & Cost Savings
Accelerate product launch by up to six months through left-shifting that validates software before final hardware availability. By integrating virtual ECUs, organizations can save up to 50 million USD in hardware expenses. This proactive approach also fosters greater design flexibility, enabling swift changes to meet evolving market demands, accelerate collaboration.
HPC & SoC Virtualization
Deploy High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments to support complex SoC models and ECU virtualization for next-generation vehicles. Our solutions leverage SystemC, QEMU, and cutting-edge simulation tools to integrate software layers seamlessly. This approach allows automotive stakeholders to reduce physical prototypes, streamline testing, and achieve higher performance at a lower total cost.
