 The Leonardo simulator I used was being developed and wasn't released
as a tool to organizations outside Duke. This was about 10 months back.
One of the original goals of the project was to incorporate it as part of
the OASIS (Open Architecture Silicon Implementation System) tools
developed jointly at MCNC and Duke. I'm not sure if at this time it is
available or not. But if it is, you can get more informayion by sending
email to: Franz Brglz (MCNC) brglz@mcnc.org or Gershon Kedem at
kedem@cs.duke.edu. You can also get more info. about the status of
the Leonardo system from Jack Briner (jvb@cs.duke.edu) who was the
principle person behind the project.
