What is SampaLib?

The Sampa library is a comprehensive C++ library and Lua  ESL toolset to simulate and analyze system on chip architectures through fast cycle accurate transactional level simulation. It includes:
The further releases shall bring more components, full scriptability and probably some graphical environment (for usecases and analysis) developped with QT and Qwt.

Started work on user interface
Not much news lately, but I've starting working on a user interface for the analysis of the simulation traces. My newborn is happily taking much of my spare time, so it's difficult forecasting a release date... But I hope to have something to show before the end of year.
