| Abstract |
Until now, it has been difficult to analyze the performance, scalability and response to system faults of today’s complex multicore system without actually constructing and integrating that same system. This paper will discuss how engineers can use simulated environments to quickly create and run multicore systems, to define and connect the inter-core communications, and to investigate performance and system stability using different system hardware topologies, clock frequencies, timing skew, and memory latencies. The example will show how virtual platforms combined with a flexible multicore API and toolset can be used to quickly determine the optimal number of system cores and high level design. |
