Full-System Timing-First Simulation

by Carl J. Mauer, Mark D. Hill, David A. Wood - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2002 ACM SIGMETRICS CONFERENCE ON MEASUREMENT AND MODELING OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS , 2002
"... Computer system designers often evaluate future design alternatives with detailed simulators that strive for functional fidelity (to execute relevant workloads) and performance fidelity (to rank design alternatives). Trends toward multithreaded architectures, more complex micro-architectures, a ..."

Sources of Error in Full-System Simulation

by Anthony Gutierrez, Joseph Pusdesris, Ronald G. Dreslinski, Trevor Mudge, Chander Sudanthi, Christopher D. Emmons, Mitchell Hayenga, Nigel Paver
"... Abstract—In this work we investigate the sources of error in gem5—a state-of-the-art computer simulator—by validating it against a real hardware platform: the ARM Versatile Express TC2 development board. We design a custom gem5 configuration and make several changes to the simulator itself in order ..."

Full-system simulation of distributed memory parallel computers using Simics

by Fco Javier, Ridruejo Jose, Miguel-alonso Javier Navaridas
"... In this paper we discuss environments for the fullsystem simulation of multicomputers. These are composed of a large collection of modules that simulate the compute nodes and the network, plus glue elements that perform communication and synchronization. We present our own environment based on Simic ..."

Modeling Network Behaviour By Full-System Simulation

by Andres Ortiz, Julio Ortega, Antonio F. Diaz, Alberto Prieto
"... Abstract — Due to the network technology advances, an order-of-magnitude jump has been produced in the network bandwidth. This fact has returned to wake up the interest on protocol offloading, since network communication is a key factor for system performance. Thus, much research work on offloading ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
to simulate the protocol offloading by using the simulator Simics. It can be used for a functional system simulation, including the application program, the operating system, the protocol stack and the device drivers, since network-oriented applications require this kind of full-system simulation

Full-System Critical Path Analysis

by unknown authors
"... Many interesting workloads today are limited not by CPU processing power but by the interactions between the CPU, memory system, I/O devices, and the complex software that ties all the components together. Optimizing these workloads requires identifying performance bottlenecks across concurrent hard ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
with minimal effort. By applying our technique within a full-system simulator, we achieve an integrated trace of hardware and software events with minimal perturbation. As a result, we can perform this analysis across the user/kernel and hardware/software boundaries and even across multiple systems. We apply

The M5 simulator: Modeling networked systems

by Nathan L. Binkert, Ronald G. Dreslinski, Lisa R. Hsu, Kevin T. Lim, Ali G. Saidi, Steven K. Reinhardt - IEEE Micro , 2006
"... TCP/IP networking is an increasingly important aspect of computer systems, but a lack of simulation tools limits architects ’ ability to explore new designs for network I/O. We have developed the M5 simulator specif-ically to enable research in this area. In addition to typical architecture simulato ..."
