Microarchitecture Simulator for On-Chip Multiprocessor Microprocessor

다중처리형 마이크로프로세서 미세구조 시뮬레이터

Microarchitecture simulator is an important tool to verify and optimize the microarchitecture of a new microprocessor. Moreover. it can be use as a performance simulator to estimate the target microprocessor′s performance. And system software designers can use it as a software developing environment. This paper describes a "microarchitecture simulator for on-chip Multiprocessor microprocessor". It is a program-driven and cycle-based simulator that can execute simultaneous mutithreading benchmarks. We verified the microarchitecture of a new on-chip multiprocessor microprocessor with it and did performance simulations to estimate the performance of the on-chip multiprocessor microprocessor.
