This whitepaper discusses the benefits of utilizing reverse execution for software debugging. Simics Accelerator represents a leap forward for simulation technology, improving scalability in terms of the size and speed of target systems that can be virtualized with Simics by taking advantage of multicore hosts and distributed simulation. Checkpointing is one of the key features of a virtual platform. It allows work-flow optimizations and use cases that are impossible to achieve on physical hardware, and that can significantly increase the efficiency of developers. This whitepaper discusses checkpointing in general, what it can be used for, and how it is implemented in Simics. This whitepaper discusses the benefits of Simics for developing, debugging, and testing applications running on multicore hardware. This paper discusses how Simics can be used to simulate networks of computer systems, including completely virtual networks, networks connected to a physical network or bus, and networking contain machines at different levels of simulation abstraction. This paper discusses how you model devices and systems in Simics. It introduces the Simics transaction-level modeling style, how to build models with the right level of detail, and provides a skeleton methodology for fast and efficient system modeling. In this whitepaper, we provide an example of how a hardware accelerator can be specified and verified using a fast functional virtual platform, to the point that we know the main performance requirements on the accelerator and the characteristics of the software that will drive it. This whitepaper discusses the benefits of using Simics for virtualized software development. Jim Turley discusses the business and technical benefits of using virtualized software development. The key to realizing the benefits of virtualized software development for a
particular application is the ability to quickly develop high-performance
virtual systems. This is the task of system modeling, and this Virtutech
white paper will discuss how system modeling is supported by the
Virtutech-developed device modeling language DML.
