Abstract

The HPS Microarchitecture has been developed as an execution model for implementing various architectures at very high performance. A considerable amount of effort has gone into the use of HPS as a microarchitecture for the VAX. In this paper, we describe our first full simulation of the microVAX subset, and report the results of varying (i.e. tuning) certain important parameters.
