Abstract: A method for low-latency generation and input of sensor data for control units or control unit networks includes: computing, by a simulator system or device, environmental data sets at a simulation frequency using an environment model of a virtual environment scene, wherein each environmental data set is associated with a respective point in time in an overall simulation time at which point in time the respective environment data set is available for further processing; and executing, by the simulator system or device or by at least one additional system or device, at least one sensor simulation model, wherein the at least one sensor simulation model generates sensor data sets at a sampling frequency, based on the environmental data sets, for further processing by at least one control unit, wherein each sensor data set is associated with a respective start time and respective time of completion in the overall simulation time.

Abstract: A method and a device for testing a control unit, in which sensor data are transmitted over a network connection to a real or simulated control unit, which data are calculated by a data processing system using simulation, in which the simulation of the sensor data takes place at least in part with at least one graphics processor of at least one graphics processor unit of the data processing system. The simulated sensor data are encoded in image data that are output via a visualization interface to a data conversion unit that simulates a visualization unit connected to the visualization interface. Via the data conversion unit the received image data are converted into packet data containing the sensor data through the network connection to the control unit.
