摘要
性能模拟器是现代微处理器结构设计过程中性能评估的重要工具.它要求灵活性好、运行速度快和准确度高,然而,实现这样一个模拟器除了工作量大之外,还需要相当的设计技巧.通过改造SimpleScalar的sim-outorder,开发了一个针对龙芯1号微处理器结构的性能模拟器,既减小了开发的工作量,又实现了灵活性、速度及准确度三者之间的平衡.实验数据表明,该性能模拟器平均运行速度在200KIPS以上,IPC平均偏差在10%以内.
A performance simulator is an important tool to evaluate performance during the microprocessor architecture design. It aims to be flexible, fast and accurate. However,completing such a performance simulator is a hard work,because it is not only a heavy task,but also needs wise schemes. A performance simulator for Godsonl microprocessor has been developed based on the s im-outorder simulator in the SimpleScalar toolsets. In this way, the heavy task is cut down,while flexibility,speed and accuracy can be balanced. It is shown by the experiment that the performance simulator can run at 200 KIPS with IPC deviation less than 10%.
