چکیده

Simulation of computer systems is becoming increasingly important in areas such as code optimization, performance evaluation and processor and memory system design. An important trade-off in simulator design is performance vs. abstraction of the model. Simics is a full system simulator, capable of simulating an entire computer system, including the processor, TLB, MMU, memory hierarchy and surrounding devices. We have implemented an UltraSPARC-III module for Simics using its micro architecture API. Selected timing features of the UltraSPARC-III processor, along with its memory system, have been implemented and validated against hardware. We, further, show that distinguishing between function and time eases the implementation of a processor micro architecture model. Modellering av tid i fullsystemssimulering Implementation av en mikroarkitekturmodell av en UltraSPARC-III-processor för Simics Simulering av datorsystem blir allt viktigare inom områden såsom kodoptimering, prestanda-mätning och processoroch minnessystemsdesign. En viktig avvägning i simulatorkonstruktion ligger mellan prestanda och modellens abstraktionsnivå. Simics är en simulator som kan simulera kompletta datorsystem, inklusive processor, TLB, MMU, minneshierarki och kringutrustning. Vi har implementerat en UltraSPARC-III-modul för Simics med hjälp av dess gränssnitt för mikroarkitekturmodeller. Valda tidsaspekter hos en UltraSPARC-III-processor har, tillsammans med dess minnessystem, implementerats och bekräftats mot hårdvara. Vi visar också att implementeringen av en processors mikroarkitekturmodell förenklas genom uppdelning av simulering i funktion och tid.

a Comparison Study Between the Joint Probability Approach and Time Series Rainfall Modelling in Coastal Detention Pond Analysis (RESEARCH NOTE)

In tidally affected coastal catchments detention pond should be provided to store flood surface water. A comparison between the full simulation approach based on the joint probability method and time series rainfall modeling via the annual maximum of pond level was undertaken to investigate the assumptions of independence between variables that are necessary in the joint probability method. The...

Numerical Modelling of Porous Radiant Burners Using Full and Reduced Kinetics Mechanisms

The present paper compares full kinetics mechanisms in numerical modelling of porous radiant burners (PRB), with their reduced forms. The two most frequently used mechanisms of methane combustion (GRI3.0 and Miller) were selected and their effects were examined on temperature, species concentration, burning speed, and pollutant emission. While the findings of numerical simulation of PRB sho...

Modelling and Simulation of Low-Head Hydro Turbine for Small Signal Stability Analysis in Power System

The hydro turbine dynamics have a considerable influence on the dynamic stability of power system. In the study of dynamic stability, the system is modeled by the linear differential equations (small  signal analysis). Small signal stability of power systems is needed in all conditions and only is dependent on the conditions of power system performance before commotion occurrence. This paper pr...

A Novel Integrated Approach to Modelling of Depletion-Induced Change in Full Permeability Tensor of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

More than half of all hydrocarbon reservoirs are Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFRs), in which production forecasting is a complicated function of fluid flow in a fracture-matrix system. Modelling of fluid flow in NFRs is challenging due to formation heterogeneity and anisotropy. Stress sensitivity and depletion effect on already-complex reservoir permeability add to the sophistication. Horiz...

Retrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system

Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...
