【摘要】：体系结构模拟技术在计算机体系结构研究和系统设计中发挥着重要作用.通过对计算机系统的建模、仿真及评估,科研人员可以验证新型体系结构设计;将该技术导入产品设计则可以优化系统方案、降低设计风险并提升开发效率.随着半导体工艺的迅速提升,分布式共享内存计算机系统已步入千核时代,处理器微结构、存储层次、片间互连及cache一致性协议等对系统性能的影响愈发复杂,对体系结构模拟技术也提出更高挑战.本文依据计算机体系结构模拟技术特征,从精度、速度、可用性和易用性四个方面对现有体系结构模拟技术进行了分析、总结.针对计算机系统发展趋势与当前模拟器存在的问题,归纳了体系结构模拟技术面临的挑战,进而提出了未来体系结构模拟技术发展的4A理论.
[Abstract]:Architecture simulation plays an important role in the research and design of computer architecture. Through modeling, simulation and evaluation of computer system, researchers can verify the new architecture design, and introduce this technology into product design to optimize system scheme, reduce design risk and improve development efficiency. With the rapid development of semiconductor technology, distributed shared memory computer systems have entered the era of thousands of cores. The effects of processor microstructures, memory layers, interconnections between chips and cache consistency protocols on the performance of the system become more and more complex. It also poses a higher challenge to architecture simulation technology. According to the characteristics of computer architecture simulation technology, this paper analyzes and summarizes the existing architecture simulation technology from four aspects: precision, speed, usability and ease of use. In view of the development trend of computer system and the problems existing in the current simulator, the challenges of architecture simulation technology are summarized, and the 4A theory of architecture simulation technology development in the future is put forward.
