Architectural simulation is time-consuming, and the trend towards hundreds of cores is
making sequential simulation even slower. Existing parallel simulation techniques either …

Two major trends in high-performance computing, namely, larger numbers of cores and the
growing size of on-chip cache memory, are creating significant challenges for evaluating the …

Large core counts and complex cache hierarchies are increasing the burden placed on
commonly used simulation and modeling techniques. Although analytical models provide …

Modern and future many-core systems represent complex architectures. The communication
fabrics of these large systems heavily influence their performance and power consumption …

As robots increasingly permeate modern society, it is crucial for the system and hardware
research community to bridge its long-standing gap with robotics. This divide has persisted …

The complexity of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems is increasing in the number
of components and their heterogeneity. Interactions between software and hardware involve …

The architecture design of peta-scale computing systems is complex and presents lots of
difficulties to designs, as current tools lack support for relevant features of future scenarios …

In this work, we set out to find the answers to the following questions:(1) Where are the
bottlenecks in a state-of-theart architectural simulator?(2) How much faster can architectural …

Full-system simulators are extremely useful in evaluating design alternatives for multicore.
However, state-of-the-art multicore simulators either lack good extensibility due to their …

The end of Moore's law has placed a two-fold demand on hardware simulation. Firstly,
efficient co-design requires fast simulation of hardware systems in order to vet proposed …
