• Resumen

  • This paper describes the web-based educational computer system simulator SIMAS. The simulator allows one to enter and compile anassembly language program, as well as load and execute the resulting machine code. Machine instructions can be executed one at atime or in continuous mode. Currently, the executed instruction is highlighted in the computer memory and every phase of its executionis presented visually to the user. The simulator enables the user to visualize the whole execution process of an instruction and to compare assembly and machine language instructions side-by-side. The software package is written in Java as an applet and thus can berun from within any Java-enabled web browser.
