Maurer, Peter M.2009-11-052009-11-052009-11-05http://hdl.handle.net/2104/5452The shadow algorithm is an event-driven unit-delay simulation technique that has been designed to take advantage of the instruction caches present in many of the latest workstations. The algorithm is based on the threaded-code technique, but uses a dynamically created linked list of environments called shadows. Compiled shadow algorithm simulations run in about 1/5th the time required for a conventional interpreted event-driven simulation. The interpreted shadow algorithm runs in about 1/4th the time of a conventional interpretive simulation.39598 bytesapplication/pdfen-US: Compiled SimulationEvent-Driven Simulation, Interpreted SimulationShadow Algorithm
