An automated parallel simulation flow for heterogeneous embedded systems

Abstract:

Simulation of complex embedded and cyber-physical systems requires exploitation of the computation power of available parallel architectures. Current simulation environments either do not address this parallelism or use separate models for parallel simulation and for analysis and synthesis, which might lead to model mismatches. We extend a formal modeling framework targeting heterogeneous systems with elements that enable parallel simulations. An automated flow is then proposed that starting from a serial executable specification generates an efficient MPI-based parallel simulation model by using a constraint-based method. The proposed flow generates parallel models with acceptable speedups for a representative example. © 2013 EDAA.
