Title
Flexible and efficient co-simulation of networked embedded devices
Abstract
Novel applications in the area of embedded systems evermore rely on the ability of these systems to communicate with each other. In order to avoid design errors system/ network co-simulation is a possible technique which allows investigating interdependencies between system and network already during early development stages. In this paper we present a novel synchronization method which improves performance of cycle accurate system/network co-simulation by triggering synchronization cycles solely by events generated in the network domain without losing accuracy. The implementation is set on top of a High Level Architecture based simulation platform, providing a great amount of flexibility. Results of performance analysis show that our approach is scalable in several dimensions and can significantly speedup system/network co-simulation compared to common conservative synchronization algorithms.
