Dynamic Communication Models in Embedded System Co-Simulation

Many co-simulation techniques either suffer from poor performance when simulating communications intensive systems, or they represent communications with a uniformly low level of detail. This paper presents a technique which allows communication to be represented at multiple levels of detail and which gives a designer the ability to dynamically choose the appropriate level for different parts of the system. This paper also presents a tool which uses this technique and experiments which show relative simulation speedups.
