The use of simulation is well established in academic and industry research as a means of evaluating architecture trade-offs. The large code base, complex architectural models, and numerous configurations of these simulators can consternate those just learning computer architecture. Even those experienced with computer architecture, may have trouble adapting a simulator to their needs, due to the code complexity and simulation method. In this paper we present tools we have developed to make simulation more accessible in the classroom by aiding the process of launching simulations, interpreting results and developing new architectural models.
