对于许多学术和行业研究团体来说，模拟器开发已经是一个巨大的负担;未来复杂或异构的多核，以及性能指标和所需功能的多样性，将使情况变得更糟。我们提出了一个新的模拟环境，称为UNISIM，它的目的是合理化模拟器的开发，使它成为可能和有效的整体工作分布在多个研究小组，即使没有直接的合作。UNISIM通过模块化软件开发、分布式通信协议、多级抽象建模、互操作能力、一组模拟器服务API和一个开放库/存储库的组合来实现这一目标，该库/存储库用于提供一组一致的模拟器模块。
Simulator development is already a huge burden for many academic and industry research groups; future complex or heterogeneous multi-cores, as well as the multiplicity of performance metrics and required functionality, will make matters worse. We present a new simulation environment, called UNISIM, which is designed to rationalize simulator development by making it possible and efficient to distribute the overall effort over multiple research groups, even without direct cooperation. UNISIM achieves this goal with a combination of modular software development, distributed communication protocols, multilevel abstract modeling, interoperability capabilities, a set of simulator services APIs, and an open library/repository for providing a consistent set of simulator modules.
