Red Hat announces release of SID
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 modelling 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.
SID is placed under a free software license.
