Using instructional simulation in the computing curriculum.
Abstract
Instructional simulations allow a student to engage in an activity that would otherwise be impractical or impossible, such as controlling a nuclear power plant or changing the effects of gravity. This paper presents a simulation tool that illustrates how the central processing unit (CPU) and memory work together in modern computer. The tool provides students with a small but complete instruction set making the simulation a fully functioning computing environment. The system's graphical user interface provides multiple viewing perspectives (e.g., digital, binary, and mnemonic). Students are able to write complete working programs and monitor the inner ...
