Description : GUSS the Universal System Simulator
GUSS the Universal System Simulator simulates hardware to test, debug and
profile software on. It is (or will) capable of running an operating system
without any modification to the OS itself.
GUSS has several objectives:
* Be fast. Performance is important.
* Support complex memory hierarchives, with minimal performance loss.
* Simulate multiple processors, including interprocess interrupts, message
passing and such.
* Run system-level code to allow studies of the interaction of operating
system, user program, and architecture.
* Gather statistics, such as memory usage, frequency of important events,
and instruction profiling.
* Make it possible to extend and configure the simulator using a scripting
language (Scheme).
* Allow symboling debuggers as frontends.
* Be determenistic to allow repeats of both statistics gathering and
debugging.
* Be as host-independent as possible.
