  1. Simulation of computer system

  2. Simulation tools • VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is a hardware description language used in electronic design automation to describe digital and mixed-signal systems such as field-programmable gate arrays and integrated circuits. VHDL can also be used as a general purpose parallel programming language. Drawback of VHDL • Big language • Require high end compiler • Commercial market • The language is not for expression of computer systems modelling at lower levels.

  3. Process orientation • User level threading:- A scheduling mechanism selects a thread known to be ready for execution and execution control is handled to that thread. • Thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by an operating system scheduler. The scheduler itself is a light-weight process. The implementation of threads and processes differs from one operating system to another, but in most cases, a thread is contained inside a process. Multiple threads can exist within the same process and share resources such as memory, while different processes do not share these resources. • Hold Statement • Wait Statement

  4. Memory Hierarchy Magnetic I/O Main tapes memory processor Magnetic disks Cache CPU memory Register Cache Main Memory Magnetic Disk Magnetic Tape

  5. address space memory space Mapping virtual address (logical address) physical address address generated by programs actual main memory address Virtual Memory Referencing • Give the programmer the illusion that the system has a very large memory, even though the computer actually has a relatively small main memory Address Space(Logical) and Memory Space(Physical)

  6. Page Fault • Hit ratio

  7. High level computer –system simulation

  8. CPU Simulation

  9. Pipelines
