computers.
April 1997.

Abstract: There has recently been an interest in the
introduction of reconfigurable buses to existing parallel architectures.
Among them Reconfigurable Mesh (RM) draws much attention because of its
simplicity. This paper presents the RMSIM (Reconfigurable Mesh SIMulator), a
serial simulator written in C, which permits to study algorithms for
restricted 3-dimensional RM, known as mesh of meshes, in a monoprocessor
environment. RMSIM is an easy-to-use simulator capable of simulating any
algorithm in different axis-orientations within restricted regions. To
enhance the debugging facilities RMSIM is equipped with a snapshotter to
generate LaTeX pictures of any planar segment of the simulated mesh in any
step of program execution.
