To simulate time-constrained operations and scheduling for Network-on-Chip (NoC) systems, we introduce a new set of component specifications at flit level grounded in Action-Level Real-Time DEVS formalism. These models capture the dynamics of NoC systems through action-based behavior under strict execution time intervals. These DEVS-based models are well-suited for development and simulation of asynchronous NoC architectures. This is achieved by extending the DEVS-Suite simulator to support real-time executions of ALRT-DEVS models. Representative simulation models capturing structure and behavior of DEVS prototypical Mesh NoC systems are developed. A set of experiments are designed, implemented, executed, and analyzed to show the kind of real-time simulation capabilities that can be achieved for Network-on-Chip systems.
