HPAM_Sim is an execution-driven simulator of heterogeneous machines. HPAM_Sim allows the simulation of target machines consisting of different processors and interconnection networks. HPAM_Sim attempts to reduce simulation time by using lightweight threads and static augmentation. Additionally, simulation can be performed either in contention or non contention mode. The results of HPAM_Sim simulations were validated using two complementary approaches. As illustrated by an example, HPAM_Sim is very flexible and allows the simulationof various heterogeneous machines with non-traditional organizations.
