CellSim: A Validated Modular Heterogeneous Multiprocessor Simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the number of transistors on a chip continues increasing the power consumption has become the most important constraint in processors design. Therefore, to increase performance, computer architects have decided to use multiprocessors. Moreover, recent studies have shown that heterogeneous chip multiprocessors have greater potential than homogeneous ones. We have built a modular simulator for heterogeneous multiprocessors that can be congure to model IBM's Cell Processor. The simulator has been validated against the real machine to be used as a research tool.

YARTISS: A Generic, Modular and Energy-Aware Scheduling Simulator for Real-Time Multiprocessor Systems
In this report, we present a free software written in Java, YARTISS, which is a real-time multiprocessor scheduling simulator. It is aimed at comparing usercustomized algorithms with ones from the literature on real-time scheduling. This simulator is designed as an easy-to-use modular tool in which new modules can be added without the need to decompress, edit nor recompile existing parts. It ca...
متن کاملA Simulation Architecture with Distributed Controllers for Cell-based Manufacturing Systems
A number of manufacturing systems are categorized into Cell-Based Manufacturing Systems (CBMSs), which have similar physical configurations typically composed of manufacturing cells, transporters and their controllers. However, since the control modules are not separable from the model in conventional simulation frameworks, it is difficult to develop a generic high-fidelity simulator for CBMSs ...
متن کاملSysRT: A Modular Multiprocessor RTOS Simulator for Early Design Space Exploration
Modern embedded systems increasingly accommodate several applications running concurrently on a multiprocessor platform managed by a real-time operating system (RTOS). The increasing design complexity of such systems calls for good design tools to evaluate real-time performance during the very early stages of design. To this end, fast system-level simulators that allow for efficient hardware/so...
متن کاملRobodaemon -a device independent, network-oriented, modular mobile robot controller
We discuss a software environment for multirobot, multi-platform mobile robot control and simulation. Like others, we have observed that mobile robotics research is greatly facilitated by the availability of a suitable simulator for both vehicle kinematics as well as sensing, and have created an environment that permits this while allowing a large measure of device independence. By using a mult...
متن کاملA Simulation Environment for Bio-inspired Heterogeneous Chained Modular Robots
This paper presents a new simulation environment aimed at heterogeneous chained modular robots. This simulator allows for the testing of the feasibility of the design, the checking of how the modules will perform in the field, and the verifying of the hardware, electronics and communication designs before the prototype is built, saving time and resources. The paper shows how the simulator is bu...
