Porting and Enhancement of an Architecture Simulation Package to a Workstation Environment

该项目的主要目标是增强软件模拟包SIMARC，并将其移植到Sun工作站网络。Simarc包的目的是使用户能够快速开发模块化配置的附加处理器(MCAP)架构，并在这些架构上模拟各种算法的执行。德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校(UTEP)已经为IBM PC兼容计算机开发了Simarc包。SIMARC的模拟器和汇编器部分将由UTEP的一个小组移植，建筑编辑部分将由墨西哥蒙特雷城市大学高级技术学院的一个小组移植。此外，这两个团队都将使用该包来开发执行信号处理和通信算法的高性能架构。该项目的主要成果将是一个软件包，可用于定制附加处理器的快速原型设计，以有效地执行指定的算法集。***

The primary objective of the project is to enhance and port a software simulation package, SIMARC, to a Sun workstation network. The purpose of the SIMARC package is to enable the user to quickly develop Modularly Configured Attached Processor (MCAP) architectures and simulate the execution of various algorithms on these architectures. The SIMARC package has already been developed at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) for IBM PC compatible computers. The simulator and assembler portions of SIMARC would be ported by a group at UTEP and the architecture editor portion would be ported by a group at the Instituto Technologio de Estudios Superiores Monterrey Campus Ciudad de Mexico. Also both groups would use the package to develop high-performance architectures for executing signal processing and communications algorithms. The principal result of the project would be a software package that could be used for the fast prototyping of customized attached processors designed to efficiently execute specified sets of algorithms. ***
