Abstract: Modelling and simulation have been assigned crucial roles in the design, development, analysis and evaluation of computer architectures. The design of parallel architectures in particular is a complex and difficult endeavour that makes modelling and simulation essential tools. In this case, high simulation performance is a prerequisite since, large workloads need to be simulated for a realistic analysis of the parallel system. This paper presents the approach that has been followed for the modelling and simulation of PiSMA, a virtual shared memory parallel architecture, scaleable up to 100s of processors.
