Abstract :
An object-oriented approach to modeling and simulation computer architectures is presented. Rather than concentrating on a specific system, the more generic concepts of processors, memories, clocks, registers, instruction sets, etc. are developed. By building upon these basic concepts, it is then possible to simulate virtually any processor to nearly any level of detail
