Simulator

Fall Semester 2009

The SRC Simulator: New Version 3.0.8

There is an assembler and simulator for the SRC, Simple Risc Computer, the machine architecture used in this course. The simulator is written in Java, and so will run on any machine that has the Java run-time environment version 1.1 or higher installed on it. This includes Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Macintosh computers. Both the PCs and the Macs in the Classroom wing computing area (the so-called NAC area) have Java 1.1 or higher installed. Below are screen shots of the simulator and edit windows. Click on either one for full-scale view:

There are new, simpler directions for launching SRCTools:

PCs, Unix, and Macs running MacOS X : download the version of SRCTools, above.

Windows, Linux, and Solaris users: after downloading the SRCTools jar file, change directories to the directory containing this file. Then issue either one of the two commands:

java -jar SRCToolsvXXX.jar
-or-
java -classpath SRCToolsvXXX.jar Main

Where XXX is the version number of the downloaded SRCTools.

MacOS X users: just double click on the jar file. (Sorry but this version will not work on MacOS <10.1.3.

Note to Mac addicts: The Macs in the Engineering Computing Center along the east wall are now running OSX.
