Abstract

Studies of architectures and performance trade-offs prior to implementation of an electronic design are critical to the success of the design. Typically, software simulators are developed specifically for a single project and are discarded at the end of the project. The use of a general purpose behavioral simulation system can increase the productivity of such projects by 1) reducing the effort required to begin simulation, and 2) offering more capability than is typically available from a more specialized simulator. This paper discusses the use of a behavioral simulation system, HELIX, in the analysis of alternative network designs and protocols.
