Super scalar pipelined processor simulator - Leo Lai
REQUIRES:
python 3.12.1
numpy 1.26.4
pandas 2.1.4
I recommend making a venv with e.g. miniconda found here: https://docs.anaconda.com/free/miniconda/miniconda-install/
Flags:
-no_print for no printing to terminal
-rob_size [value] for determining rob size (default 128)
-n_alu [value] number of alus
-n_lsu [value] number of lsu
-n_bra [value] number of branch units
-rs_bypass turns on reservation station bypassing
-f [path.asm] determines assembly file you want to run
-bra_pred turns on branch prediction
-dynamic turns on dynamic branch prediction
-static_style [FIXED_never/FIXED_always/STATIC]
determines static branching style
-dyna_style [DYNAMIC_1bit/DYNAMIC_2bit]
determines dyanmic branching style
-ooo turns on out of order execution
-step [value] allows you to do step by step execution, -1 skips to end, typing a value at each step jumps to that value. Can't jump backwards
-super_scaling [value] determines with of pipeline
To run a scalar version do "python main.py file.asm"
To run a pipelined super scalar version do "python main.py -f bubble_sort.asm -n_alu 4 -n_lsu 2 -n_bra 2 -bra_pred -static_style STATIC -dyna_style DYNAMIC_2bit -super_scaling 4 -rs_bypass -no_print"
The default asm file run is bubble sort.
Other options exist in /assembly_code
