S3E2S
stands for Specification, Simulation and Synthesis of Embedded Electronic
Systems. (Carro, 2000)
S3E2S
is a CAD design environment to explore the best mix of processor
architectures for a desired application. S3E2S
minimizes costs by exploring existing processors for an application before
the development of new ones.
S3E2S
is unique in its ability to model multiple domains with multiprocessor
selection.This allows compatibility
over a wider range of hardware.Time
to find a base set of predefined chips is minimized.The simulator is available to small and
medium companies that do not have the resources to develop new chips from
scratch for each new product.
Besides embedded
code requirements, S3E2S also explores the design trade
offs of cost, architecture, and power consumption.It also finds a balance between chip and
software based solutions.
