Architecture simulators play an important role in exploring frontiers in the early stages of the
architecture design. However, the execution time of simulators increases with an increase …

Architects rely on simulation in their exploration of the design space. However, slow
simulation speed caps their productivity and limits the depth of their exploration. Sampling …

High-level simulation is becoming commonly used for design space exploration of many-
core systems. We have been working on high-level simulation techniques for the …

Accelerating micro-architecture simulation is becoming increasingly urgent as the
complexity of workload and simulated processor increases. This paper presents a novel two …

Modern processors are integrating an increasing number of cores, which brings new design
challenges. However, mainstream architectural simulators primarily focus on unicore or …

Early estimation of performance has become necessary to facilitate design of complex multi-
core architectures. Performance evaluation based on extensive simulations is time …

This paper introduces PartitionSim, a parallel simulator for future thousand-core processors.
The purpose of PartitionSim is to improve the simulation performance of many-core …

As processors and systems on chip in the embedded world increasingly become multicore,
parallel programming remains a difficult, time-consuming and complicated task. End users …

The evolution to Manycore platforms is real, both in the High-Performance Computing
domain and in embedded systems. If we start with ten or more cores, we can see the …

Detailed, cycle-accurate processor simulation is an integral component of the design and
study of computer architectures. However, as the detail of simulation and processor design …
