Simulator’s requirement on Software
Simulation environment has effects on application software
- Programmers certainly need alternate version of application that do not have user interface code or any references to chips that is not part of the simulation environment.
- Reduce size of functionality and tables for speed.
- Example: consider simulating a 500 MHz processor that initializes a 8KB table, that might take few minutes. Such trivial tasks together consume time but do not add to the quality of the simulators.
