Daniel Aarno has been working with the Simics full system simulation product since 2006. His positions have ranged from software developer, customer project manager (including pre-sales) to engineering manager responsible for the modeling tools and model development in Simics at Intel. He has a number of publications, including journal and conference publications , book chapters and the book, Recognizing Intentions, on robotics and artificial intelligence.

Jakob Engblom has been working with Simics since 2002, handling outbound marketing, inbound marketing, sales and field engineering, academic program and product management. Currently he is a technical marketing manager for tools at Wind River, planning the future of Simics as an end-user product and blogging about Simics. For the past 15 years, he has have worked with various aspects of programming and simulation tools for embedded systems. He has written and presented on a variety of embedded systems topics since 1997, including popular science, trade press, conference papers, journal papers, and book chapters in a wide variety of outlets.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Virtual platforms are finding widespread use in both pre- and post-silicon computer software and system development, to enable software developers with a development platform months before actual silicon is available, and enable truly concurrent hardware/software design and bring-up. Virtual platforms increase productivity with unparalleled inspection, configuration, and injection capabilities, and form full-system simulations where computer systems can be tested together with their operating environment, allowing for a much more efficient system development workflow.

This book not only addresses how to use Simics and simulation to support very large software development organizations, but also how to use Simics and simulation to handle specialized tasks. Inside you ll find a comprehensive book about simulation best practice and design patterns, using Simics as its base along with real-life examples to get the most out of your Simics implementation. You ll learn about: Simics architecture, model-driven development, virtual platform modelling, networking, contiguous integration, debugging, simulator integration, workflow optimization, tool automation, and much more.
