DIGITAL TELEVISION ABSTRACT

MODEL

q Developed within a course on real-time and concurrency.

q A new digital TV had to be designed by the customer team.

q A working analog TV chassis had to be used jointly with a digital board.

q Abstract model of the whole system was constructed.

q Parallelism, synchronous communications, semaphores and monitors were included in the Model.

q Global synchronization and other aspects where checked running the model in simulation.

q Model construcción was used as an example for the course.

TELECOM LAYER MODELING AND SIMULATION

q For a wáter reservoir network telecontrol system. Valve telecontrol and wáter level monitoring.

q Improvement of the existing system behavior and reliability, had to be improved.

q Remote reservoir telecontrol units are inaccesible most of the year.

q Both telecommunication and telecontrol functions are implemented in programable logic controlers (PLC’s).

q Modeling and simulation allowed testing and evaluation of PLC’s telecommunication programs before remote cargarlos deployment.

ABSTRACT MODEL OF TOMASULO DYNAMIC SCHEDULER

q Would be totally mapped to hardware.

q Problems addressed in the abstract stage of development.

q Modeling reveals problems: mutual exclusión, synchronizations, etc.

q An in-chip dynamic scheduler of processor machine instructions.
