在設計處理器的過程中，利用模擬器來模擬處理器的架構，以取得相關資訊來評估架構的可行性與效能，是一個很重要的步驟。一般模擬器大都針對某ㄧ特定架構來製作，而可調式模擬器在架構定義與參數修改上，提供更大的彈性。針對現在與未來處理器的設計潮流，我們將模擬的重點放在超純量處理器上，並採用Trace-driven的模擬方式。 在本篇論文中，將簡介影響超純量處理器執行效能與正確性的因素。並敘述ㄧ些提升執行效能與確保執行結果正確的方法。進而，從上述的方法中，探尋ㄧ些超純量處理器可行的架構。最後我們將根據這些可行的架構，發展出ㄧ個可調式模擬器。由這個模擬器，可透過視窗式介面來定義處理器架構，以及調整所有相關的參數並進行指令執行的模擬。在模擬的過程中，可動態調整架構與各種參數，以找出最符合需要的架構。最後，我們透過一些實驗來驗證模擬器模擬後所得的結果是合理的。

Using simulator to evaluate the performance of processors is an importantstep in designing processors. Most simulators are designed for one specific processor. Our configurable simulator is more flexible in defining the framework and modifying the parameters. Following the trend of processor design, we focus on the simulation of superscalar processors. We use Trace-driven simulation method in the simulation. In this paper, we introduce the factors which affect the performance and correctness of superscalar processors designed. We also describe some approaches that can enhance the performance and guarantee the correctness. Moreover, we find some workable frameworks of superscalar processors from these approaches and develop the configurable simulator. In the simulator, we can define the processor framework and the relative parameters by window interface and start the simulation process. During the simulation process, we can dynamically modify the framework and the parameters to find the best processor framework. Some experiments are performed to show the results are reasonable.
