This is an article from ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review. The authors of the article emphasis the importance of simulation in designing and virtually testing components of computer architecture. They also suggest that simulators can be used as teaching tools for exposing tough to grasp concepts in both the hardware and machine level language that are otherwise impossible to understand. I find this article insightful because it suggests that utilization of such simulators at the architecture level will lead to much more efficient hardware by use of metrics used in virtual performance tests. However, design of accurate enough simulators have proven to be an arduous task, which is addressed by the article.
