    Simplescalar Tool Set,: Cse 323 Department of Computer Engineering

    Uploaded by

    The document describes SimpleScalar, a simulator that performs fast, flexible and accurate simulation of modern processors implementing the SimpleScalar Architecture. It takes binaries compiled for the SimpleScalar architecture and simulates their execution. The simulator provides precompiled binaries and a modified GCC compiler to compile own binaries. Examples are given to demonstrate compiling a sample C program, running the simulation with default cache configurations, and modifying the cache configuration to use a unified cache.

    Engineering
    A Computer Architecture Simulator
     What is an architectural simulator?
     Tool that reproduces the behavior of a computing device

     What is SimpleScalar?
     A simulator that performs fast, flexible and accurate simulation of
    modern processors that implement the SimpleScalar Architecture.
     What is a SimpleScalar Architecture?
     A close derivative of the MIPS architecture.
    Simulation
     How does the simulation?
     Takes binaries compiled for the SimpleScalar architecture
    and simulates their execution on processor simulator.
    Simulation Suite Overview
    Binaries?
     How to create binaries for the architecture?
     The simulator provides sets of precompiled binaries.
     Also provides a modified version of GCC that allows
    you to compile your own binaries.

    How to make a binary for
    SimpleScalar
     You will be working on TUX machine (IP:10.2.7.254)
    with your accounts and passwords.
     SimpleScalar is located in /usr/local/
     Copy the makefile into your own directory.
     cp /usr/local/simplescalar/simplesim-2.0/tests/src/Makefile ./
     Add the necessary information about your c file into
    the make file in order to compile it.
     vi Makefile
    myprog1:myprog1.c
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o myprog1 myprog1.c
