The large design space of modern computer architectures calls for per$ormance modelling tools to facilitate the eval- uation of different alternatives. In this papet; we give an overview of the Mermaid multicomputer simulation envi- ronment. This environment allows the evaluation of a wide range of architectural design tradeoffs while delivering rea- sonable simulation per$ormance. To achieve this, simula- tion takes place at a level of abstract machine instructions rather than at the level of real instructions. Moreoven a less detailed mode of simulation is also provided. So when ac- curacy is not the primary objective, this simulation mode can yield high simulation eflciency. As a consequence, Mermaid makes both fast prototyping and accurate evalu- ation of multicomputer architectures feasible.
