#Abstract
Armadillo is a high-performance, execution-driven, non-native
multiprocessor simulator.  Each node of the simulated architecture is
highly configurable, including the configuration of the superscalar,
PowerPC-based CPU and many aspects of the memory hierarchy (cache,
busses, memory, and the network interface).  This paper discusses the
design and implementation of the simulator, and also presents some
single-node simulation performance results.
