[Gems-users] Opal's micro-architectural module

["hanshi82" <hanshi82@xxxxxxx>]

dear sir,

Opal models a dynamically-scheduled SPARC v9 processor and uses Simics to verify its functional correctness.

 

first question,

i want use Opal as a timing simulator/module worked with simics to verify/evaluate my micro-architectural innovations.

if my goal processor module,which is multi-processor core in a chip and multi-threading and so on, is different from Opal's micro-architectural  module , can  i  change Opal's micro-architectural  module to my own processor module? is it possible? of course my own processor module is sparc v9-based.

 

 secend,

Opal doesn't use Simics' MAI interface so far. may opal do it in future? and  may it be usefull for my own micro-architectural module?

 

thanks very much!

thanks again!

 

regards

wangrui
