VPSim

VPSim is a digital architecture design environment used to speed up design space exploration (DSE) through simulation and rapid validation. Users can model a complex memory hierarchy and estimate its performance, for example, thanks to a wide variety of available processor and device models.

VPSim

Installation

Requirements

  • To build VPSim & the modified QEMU on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installation, you will need to install these libraries:

    apt install -y pkg-config libglib2.0-dev libpixman-1-dev
  • For the modified qemu, as it is based on an old version you will need Python2 to be installed :

    apt install -y python2

    and export it in your shell:

    export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2

Now your environment is set, please follow the following steps:

Clone & Build

  1. Clone this git repository and update its submodules:

    git clone [email protected]:CEA-LIST/VPSim.git
    cd VPSim
    git submodule init
    git submodule update --recursive
  2. Build targets and copy artifacts to the release directory VPSim/vpsim-release sub-directory:

    to do so, we configured a custom command in CMakeLists that rename and copy the targets to the appropriate folder in the release test environment

    mkdir build && cd build
    cmake ..
    make all -j
    cd ../

Getting to test VPSim and run your first simulation

  • To try VPSim and customize your architecture to simulate, please follow the README.md file in the following sub-directory:
