Original Abstract Submitted
Generally disclosed herein is a customizable hardware simulation framework implemented with configurable modules to allow for flexible fidelity. The hardware simulation framework may configure various components of the system to be either simulated, emulated, or real. The flexibility in this reconfigurability may provide means to balance the velocity and accuracy of each component's performance. The system allows developers to use upper-level software that relies on the system software in a manner that appears identical to the underlying physical hardware. Moreover, the components of the system may interact via remote procedure calls (RPC) even though the components were originally constructed in different manners using different languages.
