2 Outline Introduction Objectives Virtual Platforms and SystemC Checkpointing for SystemC Conclusions 2

3 Introduction Virtual Platforms Functional models of physical platforms Target SW unable to distinguish virtual platform from real HW Run SW or OS on Virtual HW Develop SW for non-existing HW Simulate complex system interconnectivity 3

4 Introduction Virtual Platforms 4

7 Virtual Platform Design Engineering Resources Hardware Software Integration & Test time Engineering Resources Resources Software Hardware Integration & Test time Time to Market WindRiver (Virtutech) 7

8 Generic Virtual Platform Diagram User User User Target Operating System Target Drivers Boot code Memories Devices Devices ISS ISS VP Back-end functions Virtual Platform 8

9 Introduction SystemC & TLM-2 SystemC language for systems description (HW mainly) OSCI simulator TLM-2 standarizes communication model Sockets to emulate any memory-mapped bus De facto standard for system modeling 9

10 Introduction VP Languages Different Virtual Platforms uses different languages (C, C++, DLM,...) and APIs HW engineers know (or should) SystemC, not other languages Different VP Rewrite own models No interoperability 10

11 Objectives Add SystemC-TLM to any Virtual Platform Different strategies to add two simulators Add SystemC-TLM support to an open-sourced VP Add checkpointing support to SystemC C++ not checkpointable Overcome limitations 11

12 Generic Virtual Platform Diagram User User User Target Operating System Target Drivers Boot code SystemC Devices Memories Devices Devices ISS ISS Sync SystemC VP Back-end functions Virtual Platform 12

13 Virtual Platforms and SystemC Link together two simulators Synchronization strategy Generic bridge Support for generic TLM-2 devices LT, AT, DMI... 13

14 Virtual Platforms and SystemC Link together two simulators SystemC Synch VP Virtual time 14

15 Virtual Platforms and SystemC SystemC Synch VP Virtual execution Execution time 15

16 QEMU-SC Transition from RTL to TLM Generic fabric bus (TLM) any architecture QEMU master and SystemC slave (simulation) QEMU manages simulation Focus on few SystemC devices Application Linux Driver VP SC_Link SC_Bridge TLM Socket SystemC module 16

17 QEMU-SC Application Linux Driver VP SC_Link SC_Bridge TLM Socket SystemC module 17

18 Synchronization Only synchronize when needed (sc_start()) When SystemC devices are accessed When pending event in current simulation time SystemC events list When I/O to/from SystemC device Capture or notify all I/O in SystemC device QuantumKeeper asks to To adhere to standard 18

19 Communication QEMU works with zero-delay communication CPU accesses one device and the device responds immediately Fit to LT devices Need to manage AT devices Special synchronization Finish all protocol phases before return to VP 19

20 Communication - LT VP SC Bridge LT Device operation() b_transport() operation() 20

21 Communication - AT VP SC Bridge AT Device operation() nb_transport_fw() BEGIN_REQ nb_transport_bw() END_REQ nb_transport_bw() BEGIN_RESP nb_transport_fw() END_RESP operation() 21

22 Synchronization Manage external I/O from/to SC device Devices use QEMU callbacks for I/O Bridge knows when a I/O is performed Synchronize simulators Continue SystemC simulation when VP time arrives to first SC event Every quantum time (TLM-2) Advance SystemC time until transaction ends 22

23 QBox Change simulation manager QEMU becomes simulator slave SystemC manages simulation QEMU is a TLM-2 Initiator module Easy integration Focus on many SystemC models Wrapper QEMU SystemC simulation TLM Socket Target module 23

24 QBox SystemC simulation Wrapper QEMU TLM Socket Target module 24

25 QBox internal architecture QEMU Wrapper manage_int() SignalSocket Ghost PCI dev 1 Ghost PCI dev 2 SC_Link Start sc_write() sc_read() TLM 2 Socket PCI Bus Stop QEMU sc_dmi_write() DMI Pointer sc_dmi_read() 25

26 QBox complex example TILE TILE QEMU Wrapper NoC QEMU NIC TILE 26

27 Test & results Different tests and examples Validate implementation Extract performance metrics Results for performance relatives to same system in native language C in QEMU & Qbox 27

36 Conclusions SystemC Joined SystemC to two Virtual Platforms Tested two different strategies for joining two simulators QEMU-SC QBox Minor performance impact SystemC bridge Published as open-sourced projects 36

37 Conclusions SystemC Simulation Manager Penalty System for QEMU-SC Yes 10% SW QBox No 25~30% HW 37

38 Future Work Automagic configuration of QBox systems Manage map-address in QEMU, Router, BIOS, etc. Enhance QEMU time management Hard to measure virtual time in QEMU Add multiple instances from QEMU Current QBox library allows one Explore QEMU user mode Simplified version, only ISS, run applications 38

39 Future Work Merge SystemC methods into QEMU kernel Remove OSCI simulator and write an API SystemC <-> QEMU Merge QEMU functionality into OSCI kernel Make QEMU a truly SystemC ISS Both merges increase simulation speed due to removed synchronization 39

40 Proposal Join efforts and teams to develop just one QEMU & SystemC virtual platform 40
