To guarantee the simulation results correct and speedup the simulation, the scheme for efficient PAPSoCS is proposed and the virtual topology star is constructed to match the path of message passing for solving algorithm-architecture adequation problem. Under the circumstances that messages frequently passed inter-processor are much shorter, typically within several 4 bytes, asynchronous communication mode is employed to reduce the communication ratio. Experiment results show that asynchronous parallel simulation has much higher efficiency than its synchronous counterpart.展开更多

The system is collstructed by a host computer and I I transputers connected into a topologyof 'Super--Node' which is very suitable for simulation of stiff systems. An automatic software interface runin the host is developed to partition simulation model, either equations or block diagrams, into several equitable segments and then pack them into parallel simulation program to be executed in the parallel system.This interface frees simulation users from parallel programming to focus on their simulation experiments.展开更多
