T&D-Bench+ - a software environment for modeling and simulation of state-of-the-art processors

Environments for modeling and simulation of state-of-the-art processors can be classified into two categories: design and teaching environments. While the former have powerful modeling resources, the latter put emphasis on tracking and steering experiments at simulation time. This paper presents T&D-Bench+ (Teaching and Design Workbench), an environment for modeling and simulation of state-of-the-art processors, including RISC and VLIW processors, DSPs, and microcontrollers.
