Hello All, Can anyone please let me know some good books or links where i can find enoughinformation on Instruction Set Simulators.I want to know how simulator works internally. Also, i have heard that LISA is used to build simulators. So, is there any documnet where i can find information related to this. Regards, Sapan

To judge the level of complexity you need to define: 1) From what simulated processor to what output? 2) In what format is the input, machine or assembly language? 3) Are you reverse engineering existing code, looking for a tool to use for development or just trying to get an answer to a homework assignment?

Or just software (code)? and 5) Is this for early testing of a new product or is it intended to run lots of software (perhaps for an old processor no longer manufactured)? --Charles
