 == General presentation ==
 
+SystemCASS is a SystemC simulation engine, optimized to simulate hardware architectures modeled with the CABA (cycle accurate, bit accurate) components of SoCLib.
+This simulator is 15 times faster than OSCI's simulator (SystemC 2.1.v1).
+
+Why is SystemCASS faster ?
+
+SystemCass take advantages of the [wiki:WritingRules/Caba CABA modeling rules] of the SoCLib 
+project, to use static scheduling technics, and behave as a cycle-based simulator.  
+During simulator elaboration, SystemCASS builds a signal dependency graph according to the architecture to simulate. The scheduler relies on this graph to statically compute the scheduling.
 
 == More Information ==
 
+SystemCASS is an evolution of CASS simulator developped by Frédéric Pétrot and Denis Hommais.
+It has neen developped at UPMC-LIP6 by Richard Buchmann & Alain Greiner, and is distributed as free software, under the GPL license.
