simulation
target
Set of code files generated for a model which is referenced by a Model block.
Simulation target code is generated into
/slprj/sim project directory in the
working directory. Also an executable library compiled from these codes that
implements a Model block. See also Real-Time Workshop Target.
singletasking Mode in which a model runs in one task, regardless of the number of sample
rates it contains.
stiffness Property of a problem that forces a numerical method, in one or more intervals
of integration, to use a step length that is excessively small in relation to the
smoothness of the exact solution in that interval.
system target
file
Entry point to the Target Language Compiler program, used to transform the
Real-Time Workshop file into target-specific code.
target file File that is compiled and executed by the Target Language Compiler. The block
and system target TLC files used specify how to transform the Real-Time
Workshop file (
model.rtw) into target-specific code.
Target
Language
Compiler (TLC)
Program that compiles and executes system and target files by translating a
model.rtw file into a target language by means of TLC scripts and template
makefiles.
Target
Language
Compiler
program
One or more TLC script files that describe how to convert a
model.rtw file into
generated code. There is one TLC file for the target, plus one for each built-in
block. Users can provide their own TLC files in order to inline S-functions or to
wrap existing user code.
target system Specific or generic computer system on which your real-time application is
intended to execute. Also referred to as embedded hardware.
targeting Process of creating software modules appropriate for execution on your target
system.
task identifier
(tid)
In generated code, each sample rate in a multirate model is assigned a task
identifier (
tid). The tid is used by the model output and update routines to
control the portion of your model that should execute at a given time step.
Single-rate systems ignore the
tid. See also base sample rate.
template
makefile
Line-for-line makefile used by a make utility. Real-Time Workshop converts
the template makefile to a makefile by copying the contents of the template
makefile (usually
system.tmf) to a makefile (usually system.mk) replacing
tokens describing your model’s configuration.
