This paper introduces the Graphite open-source distributed parallel multicore simulator
infrastructure. Graphite is designed from the ground up for exploration of future multi-core …

Computer architecture simulation tools are essential for implementing and evaluating new
ideas in the domain and can be useful for understanding the behavior of programs and …

Low power and/or energy consumption is a requirement not only in embedded systems that
run on batteries or have limited cooling capabilities, but also in desktop and mainframes …

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 …

Future many-core microprocessors are likely to be heterogeneous, by design or due to
variability and defects. The latter type of heterogeneity is especially challenging due to its …

In this paper we present the HAsim FPGA-accelerated simulator. HAsim is able to model a
shared-memory multicore system including detailed core pipelines, cache hierarchy, and on …

When analyzing a distributed computer system, we often observe that the complex interplay
among processor, node, and network sub-systems can profoundly affect the performance …

The growing interest in novel dataflow architectures and streaming execution paradigms has
created the need for a simulator optimized for modeling dataflow systems. To fill this need …

The evolution of manycore systems, forecasted to feature hundreds of cores by the end of
the decade calls for efficient solutions for design space exploration and debugging. Among …

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