Enabling Parallelized-QEMU for Hardware/Software Co-Simulation Virtual Platforms

On the Co-simulation of SystemC with QEMU and OVP Virtual Platforms

Virtual prototyping allows designers to set up an electronic system level software simulator of a full HW/SW platform to carry out SW development and HW design almost in parallel. To achieve the goal virtual prototyping tools allow the co-simulation between an efficient instruction set simulator, mainly based on dynamic binary translation of the target code, and simulation kernels for HW models...

A Novel Technique for Making QEMU an Instruction Set Simulator for Co-simulation with SystemC

This paper presents a novel technique for converting QEMU from a virtual machine into an instructionaccurate instruction set simulator (IA-ISS) and using it as the processor model of a QEMU and SystemC-based virtual platform. The proposed framework can not only simulate arbitrary hardware modeled in SystemC, but it can also be used to evaluate the performance of the target system for SoC develo...

Enabling Modular Design Platforms for Complex Systems

In recent times, an emerging trend in several industries that have adopted Model-Based Design has been holistic product platforms where a single systems design is reused and customized to meet diverse customer requirements such as application, cost, and operational considerations. Many of these dynamic changes in nature have required system design component variations referred to as “variants” ...

Enabling co-creation of e-services through virtual worlds

The recent penetration of the Internet has provided a fertile ground for the rapid rise of eservices, and as a result, the e-services market is by its nature global and highly competitive. One of the keys to success is to anticipate and fulfil user needs through the constant development of new offerings. However, innovation is complex and characterized by a high failure rate especially when cus...
