CPU Simulator

CPUSim is a Java application that allows users to design simple computer CPUs at the microcode level and to run machine-language or assembly-language programs on those CPUs through simulation. It can be used to simulate a variety of architectures, including accumulator-based, RISC-like, or stack-based (such as the JVM) architectures. It is a useful tool for instructors who want their students to get hands-on exposure to a variety of architectures and to get a chance to design and implement their own architectures and write programs in machine language and assembly language for their architectures.
