Native MPSoC co-simulation environment for software performance estimation
Patrice Gerin, Mian Muhammad Hamayun, Frédéric Pétrot · 2009
Performance estimation of Multi-Processor System-On-Chip (MPSoC) at a high abstraction level is required in order to perform early architecture exploration and accurate design validations. Although abstract executable models provide interesting functional validation capabilities, they quickly become unsuitable when timing becomes an issue - Native software simulation, a good candidate from the speed point of view, suffers from this issue.
