emulsiV

==========

[emulsiV](https://eseo-tech.github.io/emulsiV/) is a visual simulator for Virgule,

a minimal CPU core implementation based on the RISC-V architecture.

This simulator is intended to be used as a tool for teaching the basics of

computer architecture.

The user interface shows the structure of the datapath and animates the data

transfers between functional units.

The execution of a single instruction is decomposed into several steps (fetch,

decode, ALU, mem/reg, PC) for educational reasons, but the intent is not to

reflect a specific sequencer or pipeline implementation.

In fact, we don't plan to simulate a pipeline in more detail.

emulsiV is free software and is distributed under the terms of the

[Mozilla Public License 2.0](https://github.com/ESEO-Tech/emulsiV/blob/master/LICENSE).

It is developed by Guillaume Savaton, teacher, researcher and engineer at [ESEO](https://eseo.fr).

Running the simulator locally

-----------------------------

Due to the security policies in recent web browsers, some features will only work

if the simulator is served by a web server.

We provide facilities to automate the process.

Install `npm` and run the following command from the root of the source tree:

```

npm install

```

This command starts a local web server and opens the simulator in a web browser:

```

npm start

```

Development

-----------

Check the JavaScript source code:

```

npm run lint

```

This command starts a local web server and runs the unit tests from the `test` folder:

```

npm test

```
