Abstract
We demonstrate the benefits of instruction-set simulation for the
evaluation of the Penny system. The usage of a simulator can greatly
help understand Penny's behavior for a varied set of benchmarks, in
addition to serving as a reliable tool in exploring design
alternatives for improving performance.
