Abstract

Reports on an object-oriented package that was designed and implemented to help prototype different architectures. To this purpose, a package of classes was created to give the user of the package the ability to prototype various systems. The package affords the user the capability to prototype complicated systems which can have one or more of each of the following: memory, loader and/or CPU, as well as their subcomponents. The system is provided with a debugging facility so that a user can trace the execution of the hexadecimal jobs, one instruction at a time, using the four windows of the debugger
