What is Great About DES Models?

• Model most discrete phenomena at almost any level of abstraction

• In particular, hardware can be modeled at varying levels of details often in the same simulation environment

• Analytic handle on system behavior in restricted domains

  • periodic versus transient behavior using algebraic formulations [Dasdan EDTC’97]

• Same application can be reinterpreted across architectures

  • The simulator uses compiled application as input data.
