Measuring Computer Performance sets out the fundamental techniques used in analyzing and understanding the performance of computer systems. The emphasis is on practical methods of measurement, simulation, and analytical modeling. The book discusses

用lex与yacc构造汇编器vasm及其指令模拟器vsim vasm及vsim源于Designing Digital Computer Systems with Verilog一书中定义的VeSPA（一个小型的RISC指令集的CPU）的指令集。 vasm通过两遍扫描的方式将VeSPA的汇编程序翻译为机器指令。 vsim模拟CPU的取指->译码->执行的循环完成机器指令的逐条执行，直到遇到停机或者运行时错误为止。 阅读及DIY该代码，你将深入理解并学会：1.两遍扫描的汇编器的工作原理
