DLSim 3: A Scalable, Extensible, Multi-level Simulator for Computer Organization Courses

چکیده
Students of Computer Organization should be able to “learn by doing” at all levels of computer design. This paper describes the multilevel simulation system DLSim 3, a unified platform for studying system structure, from low level combinational and sequential circuits, through design of a complete CPU. Among other features, DLSim 3 is able to accomplish this by providing three different levels of circuit abstraction: cards, chips, and plug-ins. Using DLSim 3, students recognize the uniformity of system structure, as well as the principles of abstraction that link the various levels of design.

Circuit Modeling in DLSim 3
DLSim 3, is a GUI-based digital logic simulation program developed by Richard Salter at Oberlin College, extends the capabilities of such programs through the use of Java plug-ins. DLSim 3 makes it it possible to use the software for digital design at higher levels of abstraction. With DLSim 3, we are able to present the many levels of circuit design in a single environment, from low level comb...
متن کاملMulti-objective and Scalable Heuristic Algorithm for Workflow Task Scheduling in Utility Grids
To use services transparently in a distributed environment, the Utility Grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. The parameters of the Quality of Service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the Utility Grids. Optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one an...
