SICOME 2.0: A teaching simulator for Computer Architecture

Abstract

As it is well known, teaching simulators are very useful resources to teach the practices of the subjects and that students understand in a more optimal way the theoretical concepts taught. Specifically, this work presents a teaching simulator, SICOME 2.0, which is used in the practices of Computer Architecture and allows an interactive simulation on a Simple Computer Architecture. The work also describes the practices carried out in the subject with this simulator. The experience with this simulator is very satisfactory and the results obtained show that it helps to improve the comprehension of the subject.
