Reaching deep sub-micron technology within the near future makes it possible to
implement complex embedded Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) as a single
chip solution. Combined with the requirements for short time to market and
low production cost, make designs rely on IP core re-usability. To cope with the
increasing complexity of the software and hardware design space, the SoC designer
rely on simulation tools to be able to make crucial design decisions at an early stage
in the design phase especially related to the SoC communication platform. For efficient
and powerful design space exploration, the ultimate simulation tool consists
of a library from where the SoC designer can freely select from a variety of different
SoC models, representing IP cores at different abstraction level and then be able
to integrate these into a common SoC communication platform (e.g. NoC) hav
