The SimFlex project at CMU seeks to create fast, accurate, and flexible methods and tools for the simulation of computer systems. Flexus is a family of component-based C++ computer architecture simulators developed as a part of SimFlex. Flexus enables full-system timing-accurate simulation of uni- and multiprocessor systems running unmodified commercial applications and operating systems.

In this talk, I will present an introduction to developing simulation models with Flexus. This talk is the final part of the SimFlex tutorial to be presented at MICRO-38.

Tom Wenisch is a fifth year PhD student in computer architecture, working with Prof. Babak Falsafi. Tom makes databases run faster on multiprocessors.
