Abstract

As the importance of system simulation increases [1], so does the need for good, fast and accurate models. Hardware models (or physical models) [1],[2] provide a quick and easy alternative for creating models; this paper analyzes performance of hardware models for two fairly complex devices where hardware models have been evaluated against behavior models written in C and hardware description languages.

A Software-Hardware Cosynthesis Approach to Digital System Simulation

Our approach to digital system simulation compiles a high-level system model into a high-performance simulator that consists of software and hardware components. The target architecture for the simulation compiler is a tightly coupled processor and ...
System level hardware module generation

In complex modern day electronic systems, far more time is spent in designing the boards, writing the software to drive and integrate the hardware, and other such system level issues, than is spent in designing any application-specific ICs that may be ...

DSD '07: Proceedings of the 10th Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design Architectures, Methods and Tools

Developing highly efficient and reliable embedded systems demands hardware/software (HW/SW) co-design and, therefore, co-simulation. In order to be highly configurable, embedded systems are increasingly component-based in both hardware and software. In ...
