Altair Hero is a comprehensive hardware emulation job scheduler that addresses the unique needs of emulation environments, enabling efficient use of emulation resources. It treats multiple emulators as shared resources, enhancing throughput, reducing idle time, and improving return on investment (ROI). Hero supports all aspects of the emulation flow, including design compilation, emulator selection, and software and regression testing. Through a rich, user-friendly GUI, Hero displays job status and provides detailed reports with emulation-specific metrics, allowing for informed decision-making and optimized performance.
