Abstract :
A machine cycle CPU simulator is developed on the Squeak environment for educational use. The developed simulator is able to show hardware behavior in CPU at each system clock. Any component of the simulator is implemented as a Morphic object in Squeak. The developed simulator is examined by execution of example programs and correct behaviors of their executions are confirmed.
