Abstract :
This paper investigates the use of emulators for computer testing and integration applications in comparison with application specific computers. The performance requirements of each application are identified and evaluated against a variety of emulator implementation approaches. The relative emulator development cost, production cost, and performance levels are compared to flight computers and evaluated for key roles in trainer and OFP Integration Support Facilities (ISF)
