Computer architecture simulators play an important role in advancing computer architecture
research. With wider research directions and the increased number of simulators that have …

A shared data structure is lock-free if its operations do not require mutual exclusion. If one
process is interrupted in the middle of an operation, other processes will not be prevented …

Accurate and scalable simulation has historically been a key enabling factor for systems
research. We present TOSSIM, a simulator for TinyOS wireless sensor networks. By …

As we learn from the literature, flexibility in choosing synchroni~ ation operations greatly
simplifies the task of designing highly concurrent programs. Unfortunately, existing hardware …

This paper introduces the Graphite open-source distributed parallel multicore simulator
infrastructure. Graphite is designed from the ground up for exploration of future multi-core …

ATOM (Analysis Tools with OM) is a single framework for building a wide range of
customized program analysis tools. It provides the common infrastructure present in all code …

Design and development costs for extremely large systems could be significantly reduced if
only there were efficient techniques for evaluating design alternatives and predicting their …

Tracing tools are used widely to help analyze, design, and tune both hardware and software
systems. This paper describes a tool called Shade which combines efficient instruction-set …

We have developed a new technique for evaluating cache coherent, shared-memory
computers. The Wisconsin Wind Tunnel (WWT) runs a parallel shared-memory program on …

SimOS is an environment for studying the hardware and software of computer systems.
SimOS simulates the hardware of a computer system in enough detail to boot a commercial …
