A PERFORMANCE MODELING AND DESIGN ENVIRONMENT FOR SENIOR COMPUTER ENGINEERING UNDERGRADUATES

摘要

This paper describes the development of a modeling and design environment for teaching the concepts of performance modeling of hardware/software systems to senior computer engineering undergraduate students. This environment is being developed to support senior capstone design projects in computer engineering. Portions of this environment are currently being beta tested and educational material, including lecture slides and laboratory exercises based on the use of the environment, are being developed.
