Multi-core parallel simulation of System-level Description Languages
The validation of transaction level models described in System-level Description Languages (SLDLs) often relies on extensive simulation. However, traditional Discrete Event (DE) simulation of SLDLs is cooperative and cannot utilize the available parallelism in modern multi-core CPU hosts. In this work, we study the SLDL execution semantics of concurrent threads and present a multi-core parallel simulation approach which automatically protects communication between concurrent threads so that parallel simulation on multi-core hosts becomes possible. We demonstrate significant speed-up in simulation time of several system models, including a H.264 video decoder and a JPEG encoder.
