Advanced Computer Architecture COMSM0053, University of Bristol
Pipelined, superscalar processor simulator in C++.
To compile:
make clean
make all
To run:
make run BENCHMARK=<INSTR_FILE> PIPELINE=<PIPELINE_COUNT> BPPR_TYPE=<BRANCH_PREDICTOR>
Output: bin/simulator.out
Where
<INSTR_FILE> is a file containing the assembly instructions, with no empty lines, located in banchmarks/
<PIPELINE_COUNT> is a numerical value, e.g. 2
<BRANCH_PREDICTION> is a numerical value within the range 0-3,
0 - Fixed, always taken
1 - Static, always taken if backwards
2 - Dynamic, 1-bit
3 - Dynamic, 2-bit
eg:
make all
make run BENCHMARK=bubble PIPELINES=3 BRPR_TYPE=0
make run BENCHMARK=vec_add PIPELINES=1 BRPR_TYPE=3
make run BENCHMARK=ham_weight PIPELINES=2 BRPR_TYPE=2
