H/W simulator gap

Started by Sri October 6, 2004

Hi All,
I am trying to run a video codec on c64x
How much it is logical to have a gap between emulator and simulator.
up to what order they can be bridged.
what are the things need to taken care of to minimise this gap.

Hello Sri,
 
I do not quite understand your question.  Could you supply some more details about what you are trying to do.

I guess what he trying to say is that a pice of code (
video codec) in this case give some profile results
when running on the simulator.
On running the same code in the hardware ie
may be on evm board, the profile results are comming
diffrent or may be inflated.
As I guess one thing is that external
slower memory might be playing the role of inflating
results ( read diff profile results EVM vs SIM
)despite all cache configuration etc. done.
Can they take care of some things(?) that can help in
bridging the gap to minimum if not same.

regards..

I asked for the question of the gap between simulator
and emulator before. My experience is that the gap
gets smaller as the processing image size gets
smaller.

For a QCIF size video, the gap is around 15% of the
emulator result. It increases to 30~40% in CIF format.
As to D1, the percentage of the gap is 45~60%, depends
on the content complexity of the video sequence.

It seems like the gap is because of simulators cannot
simulate the memory operation very well, so to
minimize
the gap, minimize the occupied memory by your program.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Quentin
