The PPP Simulator: User's Manual and Report

Abstract

This paper is the user's manual for the PPP simulator. The PPP simulator is an extension of Tep Dobry's PLM simulator; thus the reader is assumed to be familiar with the PLM simulator user's manual. The PPP simulator provides an approximate modeling of the Aquarius multiprocessor system. Using the simulator, a user can run programs to completion, run individual processes one instruction at a time, examine the current state of any process, and obtain performance measurements. The simulator is still under development; changes will be reflected in later versions of this manual. The main difference between the PPP and the PLM is the difference between their underlying execution models: The PLM uses a sequential execution model, while the PPP uses a parallel execution model. This parallelism is achieved using processes, communicating via messages.
