Panel: “Multi-Core Simulation Methodology” (3:30 to 5:30)

Moderator:

Lieven Eeckhout, Ghent University

 

Participants:

Krste Asanovic, MIT

Panel theme:

Next generation microprocessor chips will feature tens or even hundreds of processing cores on a single die. Current design methodologies that rely on detailed cycle-by-cycle simulation are unlikely to be viable in the near future; simulation time will explode by adding additional cores on the chip. The goal of this panel is to discuss these issues and to present potential solutions for this major challenge.
