Abstract:We demonstrate the bene ts of instruction-set simulation in the evaluation of a parallel programming system, Penny. The simulator is a reliable tool in exploring design alternatives for improving performance and can greatly help in understanding program behavior. The results obtained improved the performance of Penny and highlighted the importance of the caches.
