Abstract

This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of a hardware and software co-simulation tool. Different simulators, which can be geographically distributed, compose this environment. The communication between simulators is done using a co-simulation backplane. The co-simulation backplane reads a file describing how the modules are connected, automatically launches the simulators and controls the simulation process. A case study is used as a benchmark to validate the implementation and to evaluate the system performance using different hardware-software partitions.
