This menu contains utilities to configure processor parameters.

Superscalar Configuration

Use this menu item to show the Superscalar Configuration window, that allows to modify the main parameters of the superscalar processor.

VLIW Configuration

Use this menu item to show the VLIW Configuration window, that allows to modify the main parameters of the VLIW processor.

Memory-Registers data

This menu item allows to load/save the contents of memory and registers from/to a file:

• Save Mem/Reg to File: Allows the user to save the contents of the memory and registers of the superscalar or the VLIW processor to a file.
• Load Mem/Reg from File: Allows the user to load the contents of the memory and the registers from a file. The user is asked in order to fill only the superscalar processor, only the VLIW one or both.

VLIW Instructions

This menu contains some useful options in order to design a VLIW code:

• Create New VLIW Code: Use this menu item to create a blank VLIW code.
• Load VLIW Code...: Use this menu item to load a VLIW code from a file.

Options

This menu contains some general options:

• Reset Processor at start: If this option is marked the registers and memory are reset every time you start a new simulation. Otherwise, the values are perserved.
• Check VLIW Code: If this option is marked every new VLIW code is checked looking for errors.
• % Data Cache Miss: Use this option to set the data cache miss rate when you use a LOAD instruction. Use 0 for no misses and 100 for direct main memory access.
