Simics




Simics can simulate systems such as .

Simics 3.0, released in the Fall of 2005 , included the following new technologies:
  • Device Modeling Language (DML)

  • Device Modeling Language Compiler (DMLC)

  • Hindsight, claimed by Virtutech to be the world’s first general-purpose development tool for reversible execution


The addition of DML offers a faster way to create and configure non-standard devices such as ASIC s and FPGA s. DML largely automates the routine task of creating code to manage the hundreds and often thousands of registers in a modern system. The DMLC DML compiler translates DML into high-performance device models that enable Simics to simulate complete electronic systems at a performance measured in speeds of up to billions of simulated instructions per second. DML enables developers to start programming earlier, saving time and capital early in the product life-cycle.

Virtutech has also integrated Simics 3.0 into the Eclipse framework. Simics provides full system simulation, including reverse debugging and execution with Hindsight, to the users that are standardizing on Eclipse as their Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
