Abstract

VI-grade, in partnership with Concurrent Real-Time, has developed the AutoHawk series of high-power computers consisting of real-time hardware, real-time OS, real-time software and I/O cards that form the computing core of VI-grade simulators and HiL systems. This presentation will introduce the AutoHawk system as a solution for running Simpack models in real-time. A computation run time study comparing various AutoHawk systems running high DOF Simpack models will be discussed and a recommended solution for optimal Simpack real-time computation will be presented.
