SISP Instruction Simulator

The simulator for the SIS Processor is written in C++. It uses the ncurses library for its user interface. Make sure you have the ncurses and ncurses development package installed.

Build instructions

It can be build using the GNU toolchain:

  1. Download and unpack the archive to a directory on your machine.
  2. Run configure in that directory.
  3. Run make.
  4. Run make install.

The simulator is now ready to use.

Usage

To simulate a program simply run:

 sisp_simul inputfile

The input file must contain a SISP program in binary format. To create such a file use our assembler.

Download

You can download the current version of the simulator here.
