FastTimeSim - Fast timing simulation of embedded software based on its target architecture

Aim of this pro­ject is to carry out re­search work and pro­to­typ­i­cal im­ple­men­ta­tions to sup­port the client in the de­vel­op­ment of a sim­u­la­tion en­vi­ron­ment for em­bed­ded soft­ware that al­lows the in­clu­sion of non-func­tional prop­er­ties -in par­tic­u­lar the con­sid­er­a­tion of tim­ing be­hav­ior- of the un­der­ly­ing proces­sor ar­chi­tec­ture.

The aim is to de­velop new meth­ods that sim­u­late the tim­ing be­hav­ior of em­bed­ded soft­ware com­po­nents dur­ing ex­e­cu­tion on a given mi­cro­proces­sor with suf­fi­cient pre­ci­sion in sim­u­la­tion, with­out hav­ing to ac­cept a sig­nif­i­cant re­duc­tion in sim­u­la­tion per­for­mance. The to be de­vel­oped ap­proach is in­tended to be ap­plied on both the source-code and the ex­e­cutable bi­nary-code level. The tim­ing be­hav­ior of the un­der­ly­ing proces­sor ar­chi­tec­ture should be char­ac­ter­ized on the basis of mea­sured traces or ab­stract proces­sor mod­els and di­rectly in­cluded in the sim­u­la­tion proce
