互连网络是多计算机系统中最重要的组成部分之一，它对系统的整体性能有着重要的影响。已经提出了许多模型和仿真器来评估网络性能。本文介绍了SimuRed，事件驱动的微片级，周期精确的模拟器，以评估不同的正交网络配置。该模拟器的核心被设计为可扩展和便携式的不同情况。与其他类似工具相比，该模拟器的一些优点是其可视化界面，快速执行和简单性。此外，它是多平台的，其源代码版本（C++和Java）在GNU开源许可证下免费提供。该模拟器的性能进行了评估，包括注入通道和网格和超立方体的确定性/自适应路由的性能影响研究。
The interconnection network is one of the most important multicomputer components, since it has a great impact on global system performance. Many models and simulators have been proposed to evaluate network performance. This paper presents SimuRed, an event-driven flit-level, cycle-accurate simulator to evaluate different orthogonal network configurations. The core of the simulator has been designed to be expandable and portable to different situations. Some of the advantages of this simulator over other similar tools are its visual interface, its fast execution and its simplicity. Moreover, it is multiplatform and its source code versions (C++ and Java) are freely available under GNU open-source license. The performance of this simulator has been evaluated, including a performance impact study of injection channels and deterministic/adaptive routing for meshes and hypercubes.
