UNR Sim: A Simulated Computer for Computer Engineering Education

UNR Sim is a decimal based Von Neumann architecture computing device simulator. Chronologically precedent simulators did not include factors we considered necessary or desirable, each in and of itself. Actualized by these inadvertent omissions, we decided to integrate all the desirable behaviors instantiated in these simulators while either neutralizing or negating their undesirable aspects. This design inspiration resulted in a robust computing device simulator suitable for pedagogical functionality at the introductory level with extensions available for more advanced students to continue their exploration of fundamental Von Neumann architecture computing systems.
