Fidelity Optimization of Microprocessor System Simulations.

Abstract

The development of a microprocessor system simulation that would accurately portray the operation of the system at a very fine level of detail was studied. This optimization in the area of fidelity was broken into three tasks. A preprocessor program was written to improve the operator interface to an existing simulation driver program. An existing microprocessor simulation, designed to run under the simulation driver program, was extensively modified to reflect actual machine level operations rather than abstract level functions. A simulation of a programmable parallel interface was developed and mated to the microprocessor simulation. Examples and possibilities for system level simulation are discussed and analyzed.
