SimCore Project Homepage (Back to Kise's homepage)

SimCore is a project name to provide computer architecture core tools including processor simulators.

A part of SimCore simulator is originally called SimAlpha Simulator.
Therefore SimCore/Alpha Functional Simulator Version 1.0 is equivalent to SimAlpha Version 1.0.

We have developed a function-level processor simulator, SimCore/Alpha Functional Simulator Version 2.0 (SimCore Version 2.0), for processor architecture research and processor education.
The main features of SimCore Version 2.0 are as follows:
(1) It offers many functions as a function-level simulator.
(2) It is implemented compactly with 2,800 lines in C++.
(3) It separates the function of the program loader.
(4) No global variable is used, and so it improves the readability and function.
(5) It offers a powerful verification mechanism.
(6) It operates on many platforms.
(7) Compared with sim-fast in the SimpleScalar Tool Set, SimCore Version 2.0 attains a 19% improvement in simulation speed.
