Host-Compiled Performance, Energy, Reliability, Power and Thermal (PERPT) Simulation of Multi-Processor-Systems-on-Chip
Simulations remain one of the primary mechanisms for early validation and exploration of systems with complex dynamic interactions, such as typical multi-processor systems-on-chip (MPSoCs). With ever increasing complexities, traditional approaches based on register transfer level (RTL) or instruction-set simulation (ISS) are often either too slow or too inaccurate, especially in multi-core and multi-processor contexts.
