Abstract
Given the central role of simulation in procesor design
and research, an accurate, validated, and easily modified
simulation model is extremely desirable. Prior work pro-
posed a modeling methodology with the claim that it allows
rapid construction of flexible validated models. In this pa-
per, we present our experience using this methodology to
construct a flexible validated model of Intel's Itanium 2 pro-
cessor, lending support to their claims. Our initial model
