| The study of computer architecture is a challenging field because of the high degree of complexity involved in any computer system. Simulation tools have been developed to ease this complexity, allowing architectures to be developed, modified, and compared. However, these tools lack a flexible graphical user interface to help visualize the internal operation of the architecture. This has motivated the need for software that will provide an interactive display that shows the computer instructions as they are processed by the computer architecture. This software will be an effective tool for students and researchers alike because it will allow them to see the execution of actual assembly programs. It is expected that the first use of the software will be for teaching computer architecture courses at Iowa State University. |
