Multicore Simulation of Transaction-Level Models Using the SoC Environment
Weiwei Chen, Xu Han, Rainer Dömer · IEEE Design & Test of Computers · 2011
Editor's note:To address the limitations of discrete-event simulation engines, this article presents an extension of the SoC simulation kernel to support parallel simulation on multicore hosts. The proposed optimized simulator enables fast validation of large multicore SoC designs by issuing multiple simulation threads simultaneously while ensuring safe synchronization.—Prabhat Mishra, University of Florida
