  1. Designing a superscalar processor simulation BY: William Callanan Advisors: Chris Fernandes and John Rieffel

  2. Project goals • Build simulation of superscalar processor • Help CS students understand processors

  3. 3 options for orders • Grill (3 time units) • Deep fryer (2 time units) • Coffee (1 time unit)

  4. SUPERSCALAR SCALAR

  5. What is a superscalar processor? • attempts to use all hardware available to it as efficiently as possible

  6. Features of current prototype • Movable camera • Execution units with built in execution time • Automated instruction movement

  7. Features of current prototype (cont) • registers • instructions

  8. Final mockup

  9. Video Demonstration • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZAUsSyEiKQ

  10. Evaluation • Look for design improvements based on student feedback

  11. Future work • Support for student programs • Manual mode • Scalar mode • Support for adjustable numbers of instructions- • Adjustable speed • Full examples • Ability to zoom in and out on specific processor sections

  12. Future work (cont) • Add additional effects and colors to draw attention to important things • Register renaming

  13. Questions?
