Abstract(in English) In order to practically simulate many-core processor, the authors proposed ScalableCore which is a hardware simulator. ScalableCore consists of Simulation nodes named ScalableCore unit, which correspond to cores in the target processor, and common interfaces named ScalableCore Board, which connects simulation nodes. Since each Scalable board can connect four ScalableCore units around it, ScalableCore can achieve high scalability. It is proposed to implement ScalableCore onto a lot of small-sized FPGAs. The proposed method can reduce the complexity which is a major problem, by implementing each ScalableCore unit onto a small-sized FPGA. And the method can also provide sufficiently required I/O ports for local memory, because of implementation by using independent packages. In this paper, a primary version of the proposed implementation is shown and the simulating speed is estimated. By the result, it is shown that simulating speed of this implementation is 7x speeds over software simulator. It is not enough and much more effective implementation is required.
