Xilinx Zynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform
∞
This is an ARM dual-core A9 based system, with the ability to extend the hardware in FPGA fabric, and program the A9 processors for fast, flexible system development
You can find more information on the Zynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform (EPP)
here∞.
On Oct 25, 2011, Cadence and Xilinx announced a virtual platform of this part - a simulation of the component - to be used for software development. (Click
here for the Cadence∞ announcement, and
here for the Xilinx∞ one.)
And there is also a good blog by Richard Goering on the subject -

At the heart of this virtual platform is the OVP Fast Processor model - the OVP ARM Cortex-A9MPx2 model.
The virtual platform is available from Cadence - so if you need more information - then contact them - or contact Imperas.
