Title
Hardware Modelling and Simulation Using an Object-Oriented Method
Abstract
In order to reduce the cost, the time-to-market and to make the most pertinent choices, it becomes essential to allow designers to evaluate, very soon in the design phase, a given application performances with respect to the targetted architecture. So, we have decided to build a modelling and simulation environnement in order to evaluate digital hardware architecture performances. We considered the requisite number of cycles for processing a given application with a simple model of the architecture. In this project, we need to increase the reusability with an adjustable abstraction level. So, we decided to use object-orientation concepts to build our environnement. Then, reusing already designed components, designers will be able to build models with a lever of abstraction which fit theirs goals. So, our main objective and the greatest part of out work was to define a generic object-oriented model of digital architectures. This paper mainly consists in the explanation of this model which is designed to help us to implement a visual modelling and simulation environnement.
