We present an extension to an existing SPARC V8 instruction set simulator, SimICS, to support accurate profiling of branches and instruction cache misses. SimICS had previously su...
Instruction-Set Simulators (ISS) are indispensable tools for studying new architectures. There are several alternatives to achieve instruction set simulation, such as interpretive...

—Instruction set simulators (ISS) are vital tools for compiler and processor architecture design space exploration and verification. State-of-the-art simulators using just-in-ti...
Compiled simulation is a well known technique for improving the performance of instruction set simulators at the cost of compilation time. However the compilation time overhead ma...
We present a systematic approach to synthesize an instruction set such that the given application software can be efficiently mapped to a parameterized, pipelined microarchitectur...
