Abstract
The invention relates to a computer-assisted method and data processing system for simulating an embedded system, wherein a plurality of hardware components, respectively provided with a software, are connected via a data exchange network for data exchange, wherein in a simulation program every component is simulated as a processing unit managing an amount of processes, wherein with the simulation program, a start time is dynamically assigned to every processing unit, wherein the processing units are successively sorted dynamically according to their start times, wherein the processing unit with the next start time is respectively selected via a scheduler, wherein, due to the selection of a processing unit, the respective active process is simulated by execution of a program code derived from a corresponding basic block graph and as a result of the simulation, the time required for the execution and/or information about the effected function is/are determined.
