PCI Simulation using ScriptSim
The Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) has become one
of the most widely used bus architectures in modern computers. Most of today’s PCI simulation software
is designed for compliance and verification rather than accurately modeling a
PCI bus system. In addition, PCI
simulators can be complex to setup and offer a limited graphical user
interface. Our research provides a unique approach to PCI simulation using ScriptSim, an open source PCI simulation tool. Using the
flexibility provided by ScriptSim, we add
functionality to accurately model real-life bus systems. A web-based GUI is
integrated into ScriptSim which allows a user to
quickly model, run, and analyze PCI and PCI-X simulations.
