| Project: | SESAME |
|---|---|
| Website: | http://sesamesim.sf.net/ |
| Start: | 2001 |
| Duration: | 4 years |
| Description: |
Developed software for the SESAME (Simulation of Embedded Systems Architectures for Multi-level Exploration) software system. SESAME is an embedded systems co-simulation workbench. Users can build application and hardware simulations and then experiment with different application to hardware mappings. Simulations report how much time was used and what communications occurred. Thus performance bottle necks can be identified. Using this information the application and hardware simulations can be improved and the simulations rerun. Cauldron Development LLC build the application simulator, helped to create a new XML format and integrated the simulators using XmlPL and constructed a graphical user interface for easy simulation construction and editing. |
