WATCH the demo

Reverse Execution

What if you could stop time and run it in reverse? With Simics you can.

WATCH the demo

System Editor

Learn how to use the Simics Eclipse interface to reconfigure a Simics simulation after it's been created and run.

WATCH the demo

Collaboration with Checkpoints

See how you can collaborate with colleagues and explore execution scenarios by using checkpoints with recordings.

WATCH the demo

Device Model Building

See how to build a new device, add it to an existing target system, and experience the Simics modeling process from creation to completion.

WATCH the demo

Simics Network Simulation

Learn how Simics simulates and works with heterogeneous networks of multiple machines, architectures, and operating systems.

WATCH the demo

Simics and Physics Simulation

See how Simics can integrate with a physics simulator to test a cyber-physical system, with the ability to fast-forward time and inject faults.

WATCH the demo

Simics Agent functionality demo

This video demonstrates how Simics can automate a target system without needing to script it’s serial console, and without having to do any kernel or driver level software installation on the target system.

WATCH the demo

Simics 5 Fault Injection Demo

This video shows the new fault injection framework in Wind River® Simics® 5, demonstrating its usage model using a sample memory stuck-bits fault injector.
