Abstract

This paper presents DARCO, an extensible platform for modelling HW/SW co-designed processors with different guest and host ISAs. Its Emulation Software Layer (ESL) provides staged compilation, which translates and optimizes x86 binaries to run on a PowerPC processor. In addition to the functional models, DARCO provides timing simulators and a powerful debugging toolchain. DARCO has a functional emulation speed of 8 million x86 instructions per second.
