Simulator for MIMD performance prediction-application to the S-1 MKIIA multiprocessor

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5362844
The authors describe a MIMD multiprocessor simulator and application of that simulator to a multiprocessor of current interest, the S-1 MKIIA. The simulator runs on the Cray-1 and is designed so that computational physics benchmarks are actually run and produce results. Similar output from this run are fed into a second level (hardware) simulator which calculates the behaviour of the multiprocessor. The simulator can simulate multiprocessors whose basic architecture is that of a few, large processors with or without data caches, sharing global memory through an interconnection switch. The simulator is applied to investigate the behaviour of simple, a benchmark physics code. 16 references.
