Description
Summary:Visualisation of the activities that occur within a processor is an important aspect of computer architecture education. Various systems have been developed for this purpose, mostly based on specific processor architectures. At the University of Edinburgh two (closely related) simulation systems, HASE and Simjava, have been developed, both of which offer a variety of visualisation facilities. HASE is a general purpose simulation environment designed to support both research and teaching in computer architecture. Simjava is a Java implementation of HASE, which allows live simulations to be incorporated into WWW pages and run remotely. It has been used to embed active diagrams into an Integrated Learning Support Environment for Computer Architecture.
