Design and Implementation of MIPS Simulator Oriented Memory Hierarchy Research

Article Preview

Abstract:

MIPS processor is widely used in embedded system, whose memory hierarchy has such an important effect on the performance and cost that how to design memory hierarchy rapidly is a key problem. To deal with the MIPS memory hierarchy research, we design a MIPS simulator “QtMips”. It is a GUI, Qt-based simulator for MIPS assembly language, which not only collects and analyzes real-time simulation information, but also supports fast memory configuration setting such as hierarchy setting, allocation setting, etc.
