Hasim: cycle-accurate multicore performance models on fpgas
Arvind Arvind, Joel Emer, Michael Pellauer · 2011
The goal of this project is to improve computer architecture by accelerating cycle-accurate performance modeling of multicore processors using FPGAs. Contributions include a distributed technique controlling simulation on a highly-parallel substrate, hardware design techniques to reduce development effort, and a specific framework for modeling shared-memory multicore processors paired with realistic On-Chip Networks.
