This Java program tries to simulate a simplified version of the Y86 Instruction Set Architechture in a simple graphical interface.
To run the simulation, open a terminal window and make sure you are in the project's directory then use java Simulation to open the GUI. Refer to README.TXT for more instructions on configuring the simulation.
You are welcome to try it and if there is a problem, please contact me or make a new issue.
- This software should not have any dependencies other than the standard Java libraries and Swing.
- Please review the
READMEfiles for further instructions - To visualize class relationships please use BlueJ
The built-in demo program consists of the implementation of for loop that increments a counter and writes it to a memory location (0x7C) until the counter is equal to 5. The program demonstrates most implemented Y86 instructions such as mrmovq, rrmovq, irmovq, addq, jmp and jge (conditional jump). The demo program also makes use of the call, return (ret) and halt instructions to demonstrate the memory stack implementation. The program is hard-coded in Simulation.java and is written to memory through byte arrays.
