OoO PDES for SystemC 2.3.1 (RISC v0.5.0)

Recoding Infrastructure for SystemC v0.5.0 derived from Accellera SystemC 2.3.1

Introduction

Derived from Accellera SystemC 2.3.1, this library enables Out-of-Order Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (OoO PDES) for SystemC model simulation on multi- and many-core architectures. This software provides the simulator component of the Recoding Infrastructure for SystemC (RISC).

Use this all at your own risk! (Yes, it's a running gag!)

Installation

As an integral part of the RISC software, this OoO PDES library is installed together with the other RISC components. Please refer to the RISC installation instructions.

Configuration

• Environment variable SYSC_PRINT_VERBOSE_MESSAGE can be defined to print verbose logging information.
• Environment variable SYSC_PRINT_MODE_MESSAGE can be defined to print the current simulation mode used.
• Environment variable SYSC_DISABLE_PREDICTION can be defined to disable prediction optimization during simulation.
• Environment variable SYSC_SYNC_PAR_SIM can be defined to force synchronous PDES (no out-of-order execution).

Status

Version

Version 0.5.0.

Limitations

This is an academic proof-of-concept prototype implementation, not commercial-quality software.
