Design and Implementation of Metric Multi-Core Functional Simulator

To integrate the programming model and the executing model, the procedure is introduced into the design of multi-core micro-architecture, and the method-centric (Metric) multi-core architecture is proposed. A functional simulator for Metric multi-core architecture is designed and implemented. The simulator is implemented with the object-oriented programming methodology, and is composed of three groups of components: functional simulator, ISA emulator and auxiliary components. The experimental results show that the implemented simulator is effective and correct.
