Computer architecture simulator design

Students learn better when they both hear and do. In computer architecture courses ?doing? can be difficult in small schools without hardware labs hosted by computer engineering, electrical engineering, or similar departments. This thesis is an instructional aid for students studying computer architecture and CPU design. The microprocessor that designed in this thesis simulates 59 instructions that used common in commercial microprocessor. It has six different adressing modes. It has Interrupt and input-output instructions. It has 11 registers that are general and private registers. It is designed 16-bit common data bus to realize communication between this microprocessor has a 64 KB memory, registers, and memory. It is wrote a program that is compiling to machine code in Visual Studio .NET. consequently, can watch the flow of written program by means of this programKey Words: Computer Architecture, microprocessor design, simulation
