When developing software for small microcontrollers, it is common to use assembly language in the final product. But there is still much value in prototyping the software and its algortihms in C. Here ...

This paper presents an instruction set simulator of an 8-bit, MCS-51 compatible CPU core, and shows how to use it in embedded software development process; Method to control and debug CPU using ...

Instruction-set simulation is a well established method for a variety of uses: as tool for architecture exploration of next-generation architectures, as reference model for design verification, and as ...

Even if the performance of the instruction-set simulator in our example increases by a factor of 1000, throughput goes up by less than 5 percent of the overall runtime (from 209.99 milliseconds to 200 ...
