Rapid prototyping system using multi core host computer system

摘要

The invention proposes a Rapid prototyping system which makes use of a multicore host computer system (100). The rapid prototyping system comprises an application core 102 and a simulation core (104). The application core (102) runs a control bench (108) which receives user commands and generates control signals to the simulation program (110). The simulation program (110) simulates the functionalities of a control system. The control system can be an electronic control unit ECU. The simulation program runs in real time. The application core (102) and simulation core (104) use the internal bus for communication between them. The simulation program communicates with external world with a set of input/output lines (114).
