Writing ARMulator models

3.1 The ARMulator extension kit

You can add extra models to ARMulator without altering the existing models. Each

model is self-contained, and communicates with ARMulator through defined interfaces.

The definition of these interfaces is in Chapter 4 ARMulator Reference.

3.1.1 Location of files

The ARMulator extension kit contains the source code of some models. You can make

copes of these models, and modify the copies. The ARMulator extension kit is only

installed if you install a full or custom installation of ADS.

Depending on your system, the source code of the models for you to copy is in one of:

•

install_directory\ARMulate\ARMulext

•

install_directory/solaris/Source/armulext

•

install_directory/linux/Source/armulext

•

install_directory/hpux/Source/armulext

There are also header files in:

•

install_directory\ARMulate\ARMulif

•

install_directory/solaris/Source/armulif

•

install_directory/linux/Source/armulif

•

install_directory/hpux/Source/armulif

Makefiles are supplied in:

•

install_directory\ARMulate\ARMulext\model\intelrel

•

install_directory/solaris/Source/armulext/model/gccsolrs

•

install_directory/linux/Source/armulext/model/linux86

•

install_directory/hpux/Source/armulext/model/cchppa

Use these files as examples to help you write your own models. To help you choose

suitable models to examine, this chapter includes a list of them with brief descriptions

of what they do (see Supplied models on page 3-3).
