Virtual prototypes (VPs) are crucial in today's design flow. VPs are predominantly created in
SystemC transaction-level modeling (TLM) and are leveraged for early software …

Fast and accurate performance and power prediction is a key challenge in co-development
of hardware and software. Traditional analytical or simulation-based approaches are often …

Virtual Prototypes (VPs) play a very important role to cope with the rising complexity in the
design flow of embedded devices. A VP is essentially an executable abstract model of the …

This article is motivated by the fact that in Cape Town, South Africa, approximately 7.5
million people live in informal settlements and focuses on potential upgrading strategies for …

RISC-V is gaining huge popularity in particular for embedded systems. Recently, a SystemC-
based Virtual Prototype (VP) has been open sourced to lay the foundation for providing …

As modern processors are becoming increasingly complex, fast and accurate performance
prediction is crucial during the early phases of hardware and software co-development. To …

This paper describes the Extendable Translating Instruction Set Simulator (ETISS). In
addition to binary translation, ETISS features a plugin mechanism that allows to quickly …

Embedded systems are becoming increasingly complex, which has led to a productivity
crisis in their design and verification. Although conventional design automation coupled with …

Virtual platforms have become essential tools in the design process of modern embedded
systems. Their accessibility and early availability make them ideal tools for design space …
