VisualSim can be used to construct stochastic models using SystemResource blocks; where priority and preemption can be factored into the shared resource.  Stochastic models are in contrast to detailed cycle-accurate models.  If stochastic models are constructed, then they can use time estimates for first order of approximation; or a specific number of cycles with the SystemResource specifying the SystemResource speed in MHz […]

Software Pipeline In software engineering, a pipeline consists of a chain of processing elements (processes, threads, coroutines, functions, etc.), arranged so that the output of each element is the input of the next; the name is by analogy to a physical pipeline. Usually some amount of buffering is provided between consecutive elements. The information that flows in these pipelines is often a stream of records, bytes, or bits, and the elements of a pipeline […]
