Abstract: Multi-processor solutions in the embedded world are being designed to meet the ever increasing computational and timing demand, whereas, there are very few solution for multi-processor embedded systems developers needs. A hardware/software simulation method for multi- processor embedded systems is introduced, it combines an event-driven hardware simulator with multiple instructions set simulator (ISS), and each ISS simulates the software of one processor. The simulation and optimization of communication among multiple processors are presented, and in the end, the synchronization of simulators, which is based on control kernel of the hardware simulator, is discussed in detail.
