An interactive, visual simulator for the DLX pipeline

Yinong Zhang, George B. Adams · 1995

We have built an interactive, visual pipeline simulator, called dlxview, for the DLX instruction set and pipeline described in Computer Architecture A Quantitative Approach by Hennessy and Patterson [1]. This software provides animated versions of key figures and tables from the text and allows the user to readily follow details of pipeline activity as a code is simulated, to vary pipeline implementation, and to compare performance across different pipeline designs.
