This paper presents an execution-driven simulator calledSIMT, which models the parallel execution of applicationson multiprocessor systems with global memory abstractions.Based on Augmint, a simulation toolkit for Intelarchitectures, SIMT focuses on the memory hierarchy andcontains facilities for designing and evaluating the memorysystem, especially cache coherence schemes and dataallocation policies. In addition, it models a hardware monitorcapable of collecting comprehensive performance datain the form of memory access histograms. SIMT allows tostudy the impact of various hardware and software techniqueson performance. It is an easy-to-use and comprehensivetool for system designers and architecture developersto improve the existing infrastructure and enables theexploration of novel approaches in relation to applicationsand the memory system.
