Csim Information

CSIM is distributed by CSIM.com. Two other organizations re-distribute CSIM with customized versions of performance models. This section lists and explains the steps required to unpack and run CSIM. This section also describes the run-time and post-processing analysis tools, and points of contact for getting help. The descriptions of this section require a minimal knowledge of UNIX and no knowledge of CSIM. An overview of CSIM's tools and the structure of hardware and software models will be given in the following sections. The standard CSIM distribution consists of a single file namedcsim_install_xx.tar, where the xx is the version number. The contents of this self-contained, compressed archive file include: The most recent version of CSIM tool distribution supporting Sun Solaris, PC-Linux, SGI-Irix, HP-UX, and Mac-OSX. Several libraries of re-usable general purpose models. And, A set of simple CSIM demonstration models and examples. The instructions in this subsection cover unpacking the CSIM distribution, building and running a model, and analyzing the simulation output. The following unpacking instructions can be followed regardless of any existing distribution. The unpacking procedure will not overwrite any user-created files. However, this procedure will overwrite any standard distribution files that have been modified.
