CONFIGURATION OF AN SIL SIMULATION OF A CONTROL UNIT RUNNING ON A COMPUTER

A method is provided for configuring an SIL simulation of a control unit running on a computer, software modules for the control unit, which have a plurality of tasks, being installed on the computer for the SIL simulation of the control unit, the tasks being processed in a predetermined clock cycle having a periodic period between the individual clock time points, and the computer including a plurality of processor cores, on which a plurality of virtual machines run, which each process predetermined tasks. A possibility is thus provided for minimizing the computing time of an SIL test.
