	INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER SIMULATION

			is announcing a 
			 SPECIAL ISSUE
		     scheduled for early 1994
			      on

	   	COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE SIMULATION 

Since the beginning of electronic computers, computer architecture 
simulation technology has been the most critical(and often invisible) 
engine that moves the whole computer industry forward, generations 
after generations. 

Computer Architects rely on simulation tools to explore different architectural 
alternatives and design tradeoffs. Computer System Vendors need to 
access architecture simulation tools 9 to 12 months before the arrival of 
the real processor samples, so that they can ship out system products when 
the processor is generally available. Computer architecture simulation tools 
are also valuable to university students and professors for their research and 
instruction activities. 

The purpose of this special issue is to provide a common place for reporting 
the advance of the state of the art in the computer architecture
simulation technology. Specific topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:

	o.   Computer architecture  simulation techniques

	     *   Efficient methods for fast architecture simulation
	     *   Cycle-by-cycle-accurate architecture simulation
	     *   Techniques for fast retargeting architecture simulation
	     *   Efficient I/O system simulation techniques
	     *   Efficient TLB/cache/memory system simulation techniques
	     *   Efficient graphic system simulation techniques

	o.   Program trace collection and processing techniques

             *   Hardware-based techniques
             *   Software-based techniques
	     *   Architecture support for tracing 
	     *   Trace reduction/compression techniques
	     *   Trace selection and validation techniques.

	o.   Applications using computer architecture simulators

	     *   Program execution profilers/monitors
	     *   Computer system simulation
	     *   Multiprocessor system simulation

	o.   Update on building projects in industry and academia.
