Abstract-Massively parallel applications such as telecommunication and video streaming have the particularity that a large proportion of the time is spent on accessing communication channels between the tasks, due to contention on the on-chip interconnect. Moreover, the analysis of a given task deployment is often fastidious. Thus, we propose to extend an existing easy-to-use System-level Design methodology to task farm applications. The contribution first concerns adding relevant SysML modeling elements to take into account application code, hardware platforms and deployment constraints. Secondly, new modeling elements -including access techniques to communication channels -must be given a semantics in order to transform models into a well-defined SystemC virtual prototyping MPSoC platform. A telecommunication application serves as an example.

“…When import/export facilities into exchange modelling formats are missing from a modelling tool, developers rely on any available API that could be used to bridge the tool with others. As in our case study, transformations from SysML to Simulink models have motivated several research works such as [5,22,27]. Those three papers have used model-totext transformation that produce MATLAB scripts which are used to create and populate Simulink models from SysML.…”

“…In addition, [27] proposes a way back from Simulink into SysML through a MATLAB script that parses the Simulink model and produces an XML model description file that can be parsed by the SysML tool. Further differences in their approaches are that [22] generates several MATLAB scripts that populate different parts of the Simulink model, while [5] proposes a UML profile to annotate the SysML diagrams before the MATLAB code generation. In contrast, our case study used a direct model-to-model transformation that involved three heterogeneous models: IM, Simulink and Excel.…”

Bridging proprietary modelling and open-source model management tools: the case of PTC Integrity Modeller and Epsilon

et al. 2019

While the majority of research on Model-Based Software Engineering revolves around open-source modelling frameworks such as the Eclipse Modelling Framework, the use of commercial and closed-source modelling tools such as RSA, Rhapsody, MagicDraw and Enterprise Architect appears to be the norm in industry at present. This technical gap can prohibit industrial users from reaping the benefits of state-of-the-art research-based tools in their practice. In this paper, we discuss an attempt to bridge a proprietary UML modelling tool (PTC Integrity Modeller), which is used for model-based development of safetycritical systems at Rolls-Royce, with an open-source family of languages for automated model management (Epsilon). We present the architecture of our solution, the challenges we encountered in developing it, and a performance comparison against the tool's built-in scripting interface. In addition, we use the bridge in a real-world industrial case study that involves the coordination with other bridges between proprietary tools and Epsilon.Keywords Model-driven engineering · Model management · Open-source Communicated by Mr. Vinay Kulkarni.

High performance streaming applications require hardware platforms featuring complex, multi-level interconnects. These applications often resemble a taskfarm, where many identical tasks listen to the same input channel. Usual embedded system design tools are not well adapted to capture these applications. In particular, the non-uniform memory access (NUMA) nature of the platforms induces latencies that must be carefully examined. The paper proposes a multilevel modeling methodology and tools (TTool, SoCLib) that have been extended to model the characteristics of streaming applications (multiple tasks, non deterministic behavior, I/O devices) in UML/SysML, and to automatically generate a virtual prototype that can be simulated with high precision. The paper uses a typical streaming application to show how latencies can be estimated and fed back to diagrams.
