	Iridium: Developing Satellite Software Using Simics
		By deploying Virtutech Simics, Iridium Satellite is able to debug software with the highest quality standards before it is uploaded to the spacecraft, without the need for actual hardware.
		Simics enables Iridium Satellite software developers to model hardware so accurately that the software cannot tell the difference.
		"With Simics, we were able to locate defects in the flight software within hours, versus days of using traditional hardware in the loop testing," said Joe Pizzicaroli, Iridium Satellite vice president for satellite and launch operations.

		According to Peter Magnusson, founder and CEO of Virtutech, Simics 2.0 is the first simulation platform to create virtual test laboratories that simulate hundreds of complete systems, unchanged, including operating systems, BIOS, firmware, drivers and applications.
		Simics 2.0, he said, allows developers of complex heterogenous systems of distributed elements to build virtual test laboratories that run on commodity off-the-shelf PCs, which are scalable and deployable across all engineering tasks.
		Simics can run at speeds of over one billion simulated instructions per second, and key tests may run many times faster than real time, Magnusson said.

	Papers - USENIX Annual Technical Conference (NO 98), 1998
		SimICS is primarily a functional simulator, meaning that it does not model timing at a detailed level such as CPU pipelines.
		SimICS is a rewrite of gsim, primarily to model the SPARC architecture, but also to implement a faster, more portable interpreter core, as well as provide a more structured environment for system level simulation research in general.
		SimICS assumes that this middle stage will be the principal bottleneck in using the tool, and has thus focused on fast modeling of cache hierarchies (Magnusson et al 1995), which can complement a more detailed processor model (Werner et al 1997).

	MSc Thesis Proposals
		One problem with making new configurations with Simics is that the configuration script is rather difficult to use for the novice.
		These simulators are written in conventional programming languages and – although Simics is a commercial product thus limiting what is exposed to the user – they are thus extremely flexible in what you can simulate.
		The topic of this MSc thesis project is to develop/adapt simulators of a specific architecture using SimpleScalar, Simics and LSE in order to make a comparison between these models in terms of expressivness, difficulty to use, performance and modeling capabilities.

		For example, I was recently chatting to the guys and gals from Virtutech about their Simics full system simulator.
		By comparison, Simics supports multiple levels of abstraction, including an ultra-high-level that essential omits any instructions that are "boring", such as idle loops or polling registers to see when bit changes (Simics already knows when those bits change).
		This means that, in addition to its already extensive capabilities, Simics can now be used to perform architecture development, performance modeling, and software validation on environments that include RTL models (transmogrified into their DesignPlayer equivalents) of portions of the hardware.
