Background
Fast and accurate models are an everlasting topic in virutal protoyping. This also holds for performance modeling of on-chip communication networks (NoCs). A wide range of accurate yes slow models exist; faster models are scarse and often inaccurate. This is tackled in this thesis.
Description
The goal of this thesis is to extend a SystemC simulator to model NoCs with a fast and abstract performance model. The model shall cover the state of routers in slices of time. Input bandwidth, output bandwidth and network latency must be estimated.
