A Highly Configurable Simulator for Assessing Energy Usage

MMCacheSim: A Highly Configurable Matrix Multiplication Cache Simulator

Memory access is the bottleneck of all computations. CPU cache is introduced to speed up accessing reused and local data. Matrix multiplication is the most common representative of many linear algebra algorithms which performance directly depends of the cache. Many cache parameters exist and impact the overall computing performance such as cache type, line, size, level, associativity, and repla...

FAULTSIM: A fast, configurable memory-resilience simulator

Recent studies of DRAM failures in data centers and supercomputer environments have highlighted non-uniform failure modes in DRAM chips. Failures fall into different classes depending on the source of the failure (e.g., an I/O pin, rank, bank, row, column, or bit). These failures will be common in future memory technologies. To mitigate them, memory systems employ complex error correcting codes...

CARS - Configurable Automotive Research Simulator

This paper introduces CARS, an open source driving simulator tool for evaluating driver distraction. We present the map editor, the driving simulation tool and the analysis tool included in CARS. Based on initial results from initial user studies we illustrate the effectiveness of CARS in evaluating different secondary tasks (e.g., compare different UIs for navigation systems) with regard to dr...

Highly configurable platforms for embedded computing systems

Platform chips, which are pre-designed chips possessing numerous processors, memories, coprocessors, and field-programmable gates arrays, are becoming increasingly popular. Platforms eliminate the costs and risks associated with creating customized chips, but with the drawbacks of poorer performance and energy consumption. Making platforms highly configurable, so they can be tuned to the partic...
