为了理解计算机的结构和行为，开发了一个视觉模拟器。它是用Java编程语言编写的，从Web服务器下载，并在主要浏览器上执行。它的设计目的是演示计算机如何直观地工作，如何不仅作为Java独立应用程序运行，而且作为Java applet运行。我们的视觉模拟器读取用汇编语言编写的程序文件，以一步一步的方式以及自动（即连续）的方式执行它们，并演示计算机如何图形化地处理这些程序。为了提高模拟器的功能，增加了在线消息服务、指南显示和内置电子邮件处理程序等功能模块。本文主要介绍了本模拟器的新功能。可以对其用户界面进行改进，为远程教育提供师生之间的交流支持
A visual simulator has been developed for understanding computer structure and behavior. It is written in the Java programming language, downloaded from a Web server, and executed on major browsers. It has been designed to illustrate how a computer works visually and run not only as a Java stand-alone application but also as a Java applet. Our visual simulator reads program files written in an assembly language, executes them in step-by-step manner as well as in automatic (i.e., continuous) manner and demonstrates how those programs are processed graphically by computer. In order to improve functionality of simulator, some modules have been newly added, which are designed to perform, for example, online message service, guideline display and built-in e-mail handler. In this paper, new facilities of our simulator mainly explained. They can make its user interface improved and provide communication support between teacher and students for the sake of distance education
