....target machines are identical or nearly so) execution driven simulation simply executes the machine language instructions of the program directly on the simulation host. Similar techniques based on the basic concept exploited by execution driven simulation have also been proposed in references [7, 9, 10, 11]. A principle disadvantage of execution driven simulation is that some of the timing details of instruction execution are lost since individual instructions are not emulated. As a result, the time required to execute a sequence of instructions can not be predicted as accurately as with ....

....When the simulation model is executed, the timing estimates provided by the profiled program reflect the program s execution time on the target processor rather than the simulation host. 7 One of the first simulators to utilize execution driven simulation was Fujimoto s Simon simulation system [9]. It uses a form of execution driven simulation called native mode execution to allow efficient evaluation of the performance of parallel programs executing on multiprocessors. Fujimoto also developed a technique for simulating systems where the host and target processors have different ....
