CONTEXT. Full-system simulators provide benefits to developers in terms of a more rapid development cycle; since development may begin prior to that of next-generation hardware being available. However, there is a distinct lack of graphics virtualization in industry-grade virtual platforms, leading to performance issues that may obfuscate the benefits virtual platforms otherwise have over execution on actual hardware. OBJECTIVES. This dissertation concerns the implementation of graphics acceleration by the means of paravirtualizing OpenGL ES 2.0 in the Simics full-system simulator. Furthermore, this study illustrates the benefits and drawbacks of paravirtualized methodology, in addition to performance analysis and comparison with the Androi...
