Fast SystemC Processor Models with Unicorn
Abstract
In this work a Virtual Platform (VP) is presented containing a novel processor model for the latest ARMv8 instruction set architecture. This processor model was constructed using the Unicorn emulator [6]. The necessary modifications to the Unicorn emulator and subsequent performance improvements during SystemC simulation are shown in detail. In addition the integration into a VP using a state-of-the-art SystemC modeling library is described. A comparison is made with a VP containing another similar processor model, highlighting the benefits of using Unicorn for processor modeling in a SystemC environment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
