Accelerate RISC-V Instruction Set Simulation by Tiered JIT Compilation
Two main demands on instruction set simulation are portability and high simulation performance. For the testing and benchmarking of ISA prototypes such as in an ASIP design process, simulators are additionally required to offer retargetability for the ...
Until 1975, computer architecture and, consequently, computer design and implementation had grown more complicated with each successive generation. Instruction sets were large and individual instructions were complicated. Some of these complications ...
Traditionally, instruction-set simulators (ISS's) are sequential programs running on individual processors. Besides the advances of simulation techniques, ISS's have been mainly driven by the continuously improving performance of single processors. ...
