# description
`asi.py` is a simulator for a ficticious isa implementation documented in
`isa.txt`
to run, invoke `asi.py` followed by a filename containing the ascii
representation of the binary instructions you would like to simulate
comments are supported with the `#` character at the beginning of lines
please do not include extraneous newline characters at the end of simulation
files
# benchmarks
four example simulations are included. they have the `.asi` extension
additionally, `.res` files document the expected output of the simulation
the `test.sh` script will show the difference between a provided `.res`
file and the output of the simulator. invoke this as follows:
`./test.sh .asi .res`
# feedback
during benchmarks, we discovered that our simulator did not implement the
compare instruction correctly. it skipped one too few instructions. we
discovered this when writing the `test_comp.asi` and `test_comp.res` files,
included in this repository
no other discrepancies were found with our benchmarks
# todo
we would like to add a simple interpreter to make writing benchmark code
less tedious
