Abstract:This thesis describes the design and implementation of a functional simulator created for the Montium Tile Processor, a domain specific reconfigurable accelerator, that makes use of code-generation to achieve the speed of a binary compiled simulator but preserves the flexibility of an interpretive one. The simulation generator uses a binary configuration compiled for the Montium TP together with some (optional) design parameters of the specific Montium instance to generate program source code that is compilable on a general purpose desktop computer. By implementing this simulation generator in Java SE 6, the program will be portable between different machines and operating systems. Another benefit from this choice is that it becomes possible for the generated simulation to be compiled and instantiated internally (without leaving the generator to start a external compiler) and instantly, totally invisible for the end-user, effectively making the generator itself work as a flexible and fast simulator. In order to make interaction with the simulator as easy as possible, a graphical user interface was build around it. This gives the developer the possibility to edit his source code, compile it and simulate it all in a single, easy to use, environment.
