Abstract

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of SUNSHINE, a scalable hardware-software simulator for sensornet applications. SUNSHINE captures the performance of network protocols, software and hardware up to cycle-level accuracy. SUNSHINE solves challenging design problems, including data exchanges and time synchronization across different simulation domains and simulation accuracy levels. SUNSHINE also provides hardware specification scheme for simulating flexible and customized hardware designs. An experiment demonstrates that SUNSHINE is an efficient tool for sensornet prototyping.
