Lines: 38 Forgive my ignorance, but... I need an RTL-level simulation package, which produces statistics, for a small microprocessor I am designing as part of my Masters' thesis. This will be a RISC-like functional architecture, with a small microcode driven instruction set, pipelining, and hardware implemented garbage-collection. As the design will be driven by simulation results, I need an easily extensible package, with good documentation, and a good user interface. I have access to VAX 11/780s, SUN and Apollo workstations, all running under UNIX 4.2, and I would most appreciate information on public-domain software, or inexpensive packages, as my budget is limited. In addition, if anyone has pointers to good general documents on hardware simulation, and/or some survey papers of available simulation packages, these would prove most helpful. I'll eventually need switch-level simulations as well, as I plan to fabricate the processor once it's functional design is frozen.
