Abstract :
We propose a method for performance improvement of multi-processor systems cosimulation by reducing synchronization overhead between multiple simulators. To reduce the amount of simulator synchronization, we predict synchronization time points based on a static analysis of application software running on each processor. In experiments with real embedded systems, we obtained orders of magnitude higher performance in cosimulation runtimes
