cpu simulator + testbench

  • November 2015

Overview

As part of my Computer Architecture module , built a CPU simulator and testbench from scratch in C++.

A key part of building the CPU simulator was strictly adhering to a given set of interfaces/API provided as part of the specification. This meant that the CPU and the testbench could be tested independent of each other.

Also important was to understand how a CPU works, how various instructions need to be implemented ,

Goal

The end goal of the project was to simulate a CPU, memory and Testbench. There was no address translation involved and a single block of memory is assumed.

Procedure

Kindly see the github page for all the details of the specification and the source.
