Honeywell PML Functional Memory Component

• Situations arise when the user will want to model the functional flow of data between processor model components
  
  • More detailed functionality desired
    
  • Performance modeling requires application dependent behavioral information
    
  • Modeling control flow
    
  • Test boundary conditions
    
• Functional Memory component allows software tasks to exchange large amounts of data without impacting simulation time (no resource utilization)
  
  • Supports arbitrary sizes of data
    
  • Simple interface
    
  • Not a huge burden on simulation runtime performance
    
  • Persistent; no synchronized transmitters/receivers needed
