Abstract
This thesis describes Graphite, a parallel, distributed simulator for simulating large-scale multicore architectures, and focuses particularly on the functional aspects of simulating a single, unmodified multi-threaded application across multiple machines. Graphite allows fast simulation of multicore architectures by leveraging computational resources from multiple machines and making efficient use of the parallelism available in the host platforms. This thesis describes in detail the design and implementation of the functional aspects of Graphite. Experiment results using benchmarks from the SPLASH benchmark suite that demonstrate the speed and scalability of Graphite are presented. Results from the simulation of an architecture containing 1024 cores are also included.
