A software performance simulation methodology for rapid system architecture exploration

The performance simulation of embedded system designs is often a time consuming process. Whereas the simulation performance of hardware models depends on the chosen abstraction level, the software part is usually simulated with a slow Instruction-Set-Simulator (ISS), which greatly limits the entire simulation speed.
