Abstract :
A simulation environment oriented to the needs of the developer of custom multi-DSP systems has been developed and implemented. The simulator, Frigg, builds on the capabilities of a general-purpose behavioral simulator and manufacturer-supplied processor simulators. Frigg allows a user to simultaneously view the detailed behavior of the hardware and software comprising a complete multiprocessor system. Frigg is currently being used to simulate a variety of multi-digital-signal-processor systems and has proved useful for verifying hardware designs, performing detailed performance evaluations, and testing software and software tools
