Tangram: Virtual Integration of IP Components in a Distributed Cosimulation Environment

摘要

A LARGE VARIETY OF LANGUAGES exist to model the different types of hardware and software components in modern embedded SoCs, as well as to deal with various models of computation (MoCs) and abstraction levels. Although single languages have been proposed as standards, covering a wide modeling range, the most common situation is the development of heterogeneous models, where different languages describe components. Cosimulation tools handling heterogeneous models become necessary for validating these designs.
