OSIAC Computer Simulator

This repository contains a simulator for the OSIAC computer, a simplified educational computer architecture.

Overview

The OSIAC (One Step Intermediate Automatic Computer) simulator provides a platform to understand the fundamental principles of computer architecture and assembly language programming. It allows users to write and execute simple programs on a virtual machine that mimics the basic functionality of a real computer.

Features

• Simulated OSIAC Architecture: Implements the core components of the OSIAC computer, including the accumulator, memory, and instruction set.
• Assembly Language Support: Enables users to write programs using a simplified assembly language tailored for the OSIAC architecture.
• Interactive Execution: Provides an interactive environment to step through program execution, inspect memory, and observe the accumulator's state.
• Debugging Capabilities: Offers basic debugging features to identify and resolve errors in your assembly language programs.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Access to the OSIAC system developed by the Ohio State University.
• A C++ compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang)
• CMake (optional, for building from source)

Building from Source (Optional)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kennygoooo/OSIAC-Computer-Simulator.git
   cd OSIAC-Computer-Simulator

2. Enter the Directory

   cd OSIAC-Computer-Simulator

Running the Simulator

1. Navigate to the directory containing the executable (either the build directory or the release directory).

2. Run the simulator:

   ./dosim mp4-specs.dat test4

   Change the directory and file names accordingly

3. You should have a summary and a details file created in the same directory. That will be the required outputs for us.
