CPU & OS simulation Elective Course

What is the course about?

Сourse repository is dedicated to CPU and OS simulation in third bachelor semester at MIPT.

All teaching materials used during the semester are here.

Demo Code

You can find simulator library and test generation script here.

During the course we consistently improve our toy model of the simulator.

1. Naive Interpreter
2. Inline Assembly model
3. AsmJit Assembly model
4. JIT translator

Here are the results of a comparison of four different models on a test in which we varied the number of loop iterations (aka LC):

• MIPS:

• Time, seconds:
