Abstract

In modern embedded systems, more and more control applications are executed in a distributed fashion. Here, the architecture as well as the scheduling policies influence the control performance. Thus, considering control performance as design objective at Electronic System Level becomes mandatory. This work presents a control performance analysis approach based on the co-simulation of high level models of plants and a virtual prototype of the controllers in the system. The work in hand integrates this co-simulation in a Design Space Exploration, resulting in a fully automatic toolflow at the ESL that accounts for several control performance metrics as additional principle design objectives together with other design objectives such as monetary cost or energy consumption.
