Our new out-of-order processor simulator, FastSim, uses two innovations to speed up simulation 8–15 times (vs. Wisconsin SimpleScalar) with no loss in simulation accuracy. First...
Transaction level models (TLMs) can be constructed at t levels of abstraction, denoted as untimed (UT), cycle-approximate (CX), and cycle accurate (CA) in this paper. The choice o...
This paper introduces an efficient and accurate interconnect simulation technique. A new formulation for typical VLSI interconnect structures is proposed which, in addition to pr...
