Requirements for Hybrid Cosimulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper defines a suite of requirements for future hybrid cosimulation standards, and specifically provides guidance for development of a hybrid cosimulation version of the Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) standard. A cosimulation standard defines interfaces that enable diverse simulation tools to interoperate. Specifically, one tool defines a component that forms part of a simulation model in another tool. We focus on components with inputs and outputs that are functions of time, and specifically on inputs and outputs that are mixtures of discrete events and continuous time signals. This hybrid mixture is not well supported by existing cosimulation standards, and specifically not by FMI 2.0, for reasons that are explained in this paper. The paper defines a suite of test components, giving a mathematical model of an ideal behavior, plus a discussion of practical implementation considerations. The discussion includes acceptance criteria by which we can determine whether a standard supports definition of each component. In addition, the paper defines a set of test compositions of components. These compositions define requirements for coordination between components, including consistent handling of timed events.

Performance improvement of geographically distributed cosimulation by hierarchically grouped messages
To improve the performance of geographically distributed cosimulation, we propose a concept called hierarchically grouped message. The concept improves cosimulation performance, preserving the cosimulation accuracy, by hierarchically grouping messages transferred between simulators in a short period of simulated time into a single physical message, thereby reducing the number of physical messag...
متن کاملHardware=software cosimulation from interface perspective
The aim is to explain the current issues of HW/SW cosimulation and to introduce a new challenge of HW/SW cosimulation for multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC). Most of the current issues are related to raising abstraction levels of HW/SW cosimulation. Mixed-level cosimulation is explained in a unified manner using a concept of ‘HW/SW interface’. First, abstraction levels in HW/SW cosimulation are explain...

In this paper, we present a hardware-software cosimulation environment for heterogeneous systems. To be an efficient and convenient verification environment for the rapid prototyping of heterogeneous systems consisting of hardware and software components, the environment supports i) modular cosimulation, ii) cosimulation acceleration, and iii) integrated user interface and internal representa...
متن کاملSynchronization Overhead Reduction in Timed Cosimulation
In this paper, we present two approaches to improving the performance of single-processor timed cosim-ulation. One of the approaches is optimistic timed cosimulation and the other is non-IPC (interprocess communication) timed cosimulation. The optimistic timed cosimulation algorithm optimistically estimates the time for synchronization between HW simulator and SW simulator and runs simulation t...
