  • Method for modeling performance of embedded processors having combined cache and memory hierarchy
    Patent number: 7890314
    Abstract: A method allocating firmware objects between different types of memory in a product model based on a frequency of access of each firmware object in trace data. The allocated firmware objects and trace data are used to simulate the performance of the product model. Memory access statistics obtained during the simulation may be used to analyze product model performance in the frequency and time domains.
