Abstract

The focus of this thesis is implementation of the superscalar simulator. The implementation follows research of existing simulators and tries to implement missing features from them. Simulator uses RISC-V instruction set architecture, but architecture can be swapped for any RISC instruction set. Simulator implements deterministic branch prediction. Parts of the simulation can be configured. The simulator application also contains a text editor for inputting source code.
