CHI-5 Simulator Reference Manual

The CHI-5 Simulator is an interactive program, written in standard FORTRAN-77, which simulates the operation of a CHI-5 Array Processor. It may be used to verify the correctness of a microprogram designed to run on the CHI-5. The simulator maintains a functional model of the CHI-5. This model is composed of variables, known as state variables, which hold values corresponding to values held by elements in a real CHI-5. A set of commands is available to the user with which the values of state variables may be manipulated. Values may be changed directly, or through the simulated execution of CHI-5 instructions. A system of files and the commands to control them are provided so values in the model may be more efficiently loaded or stored.
