SimpleScalar

Mentors:

Status: This project has no mentor or volunteers. It is also questionable for completion.

Introduction: The simplescalar BSP (board support package) is available from ​Jack Whitham’s website, but it is implemented for RTEMS-4.6.2, which is no longer supported. Moreover, the SimpleScalar project is no longer actively maintained, and so the long-term viability of the project is dubious. However, SimpleScalar remains a useful tool for embedded systems research, since it exposes the processor internals and allows development of new architectural features, whereas more modern simulators model overly-complex pipelines seen in desktop and server platforms, often with limited support for extending the microarchitecture.

Goal: Concise statement of the overall goal of the project. Refine this initial statement to include: project deliverables (code, docs, testing), required/suggested methodology, standards of quality, possible goal extensions beyond the main objective.

Requirements: List the requirements and level of expertise you estimate are required by the developer tackling this project will have to have: Required level of programming language(s), specific areas of RTEMS or tools, level of familiarity with RTEMS, cross-development, GNU/Linux, etx., development/documentation/testing tools, mathematical/algorithmic background, other desirable skills.

Resources: Current RTEMS developers, papers, etc that may help you in this project.
