Bug#369290: RFP: sid -- a framework for building computer system simulations
Package: wnpp
The following is an interesting and useful piece of software:
http://sourceware.redhat.com/sid/
Copyright: GPL v2 or later
From the web page:
SID is a framework for building computer system simulations. Specifically, a
simulation is comprised of a collection of loosely coupled components.
Simulated systems may range from a CPU's instruction set to a large
multi-processor embedded system.
SID defines a small component interface which serves to tightly encapsulate
them. Components may be written in C++, C, Tcl or any other language to which
the API is bound. Typically, components are separately compiled and packaged
into shared libraries. A standard run-time linking/loading interface is
defined for these.
The package includes a growing library of components for modeling hardware and
software parts, instrumentation, control, and external interfaces. During
simulation start-up, components are instantiated, interconnected, and
configured as necessary to represent some specific system. (The above catalog
comes from the source tree: sid/component/CATALOG.)
Up to now, there are only CVS snapshots. But they compile, are autotooled and
work. [CVS-05/20/06 for example)
Best regards,
Onno
