MemSim - A MEMORY MODULE SIMULATOR FOR SDMMS

Shared memory programming model on top of a physically distributed memory
machine (SDMM) is a promising candidate for easy-to-program general
purpose parallel computation.

MemSim is a program that can be used to measure the average and the maximum
memory reference delay, the maximum length of access queues, and cache hit
rate of the low-level memory module structures of SDMM evaluated in
Report A-2000-5.

MemSim runs in Macintosh environment and requires MacOS 8.5 or newer and
19 MB free memory.

MemSim.sea.hqx is BinHex version of self-extracting Stuffit Lite document
that contains MemSim folder.

Installation:

   1. Move MemSim.sea.hqx file to a Macintosh
   2. Translate BinHex document to Stuffit Lite document by BinHex selecting
      Download->Application item in File Menu
   3. Extract Stuffit Lite document by double-clicking it
