A Multi-Emulation System

A Multi-resolution Emulation + Simulation Methodology

System emulation with QEMU

QEMU is an open source emulator for complete PC systems. In addition to emulating a processor, QEMU permits emulation of all necessary subsystems, such as networking and video hardware. It also permits emulation of advanced concepts, such as symmetric multiprocessing systems (up to 255 CPUs) and other processor architectures, such as ARM or PowerPC. This article explores QEMU and its architectu...

A Portable, Cross-platform Emulation System

Traditionally, emulation systems have been unnecessarily written and compiled for specific computer architectures. Therefore, emulations cannot easily be ported to other computing platforms. This paper proposes a portable emulation system, where the dependencies on particular host architectures are minimised by developing the emulation runtime, in the portable environment Java. Using this syste...

An Efficient Logic Emulation System

The Realizer is a logic emulation system that automatically configures a network of Field-Programmble Gate Arrays (FPGA’s) to implement large digital logic designs. Logic and interconnect are separated to achieve optimum FPGA utilization. Its interconnection architecture, called the partial crossbar, greatly reduces system-level placement and routing complexity, achieves bounded interconnect de...

Rapid-Prototyping Emulation System Co-emulation Modelling Interface for SystemC Real-Time Emulation

This paper describes the Communications Interface Protocol that was implemented successfully as a co-emulation modelling interface between SystemC model and a reconfigurable hardware platform. The information presented represents part of research into the suitability of using SystemC, in conjunction with a suitable reconfigurable hardware system platform, to provide a real-time emulation enviro...
