Timed HW-SW cosimulation using native execution of OS and application SW
نویسندگان
چکیده
In SoC design, the software becomes more and more significant to meet short time-to-market constraints as well as to exploit its reprogrammability. Since most of SoC design cycle is spent in validation, designers need to have a fast validation of SW design to achieve a real reduction in design cycle. The SW validation needs also to be accurate in terms of SW timing and in the context of the entire system execution. In this paper, we present a cosimulation method that enables fast and accurate SW simulation by incorporating native OS simulation into timed HW-SW cosimulation.

ChronoSym: a new approach for fast and accurate SoC cosimulation
The early validation of modern SoC is not anymore feasible using traditional cycle-accurate cosimulations. These are based on the concurrent execution between SW running on multiple Instruction Set Simulators and HW simulators. The challenge is then speeding-up the simulation, without sacrificing the accuracy of traditional methods. The key contribution of this paper is a novel fast and accurat...
متن کاملHardware=software cosimulation from interface perspective
The aim is to explain the current issues of HW/SW cosimulation and to introduce a new challenge of HW/SW cosimulation for multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC). Most of the current issues are related to raising abstraction levels of HW/SW cosimulation. Mixed-level cosimulation is explained in a unified manner using a concept of ‘HW/SW interface’. First, abstraction levels in HW/SW cosimulation are explain...
متن کاملSynchronization Overhead Reduction in Timed Cosimulation
In this paper, we present two approaches to improving the performance of single-processor timed cosim-ulation. One of the approaches is optimistic timed cosimulation and the other is non-IPC (interprocess communication) timed cosimulation. The optimistic timed cosimulation algorithm optimistically estimates the time for synchronization between HW simulator and SW simulator and runs simulation t...

متن کاملA Survey of Hw/sw Cosimulation Techniques and Tools Contents
In the last decade, electronic systems have become increasingly complex. The number of func-tionalities built on one chip have risen enormously. To solve the problem of cost and flexibility for such sophisticated, systems the usage of mixed hardware software systems has increased. Due to the complexity, the system development has become more and more difficult and the simulation and evaluation ...
