Abstract

System modeling has the potential to enhance system design productivity by providing a platform for system performance evaluations. This model must be designed at an abstract level, hiding system details. However, it must represent any subsystem or its components at any level of specification details. In order to model such a system, we will need to combine various models-of-computation (MOC). MOC provide a framework to model various algorithms and activities, while accounting for and exploiting concurrency and synchronization aspects. Along with supporting various MOC, a modeling environment should also support a well developed library. In this thesis, we have explored various modeling environments. MLDesigner (MLD) is one such modeling environment that supports a well developed library and integrates various MOC. We present an overview and discuss the process of system modeling with MLD. We further present an abstract model of a Network-on-Chip in MLD and show latency results for various customizable parameters for this model.
