Assignment 2 : Multi-Issue Processor

==========================================================================================
Objective: Understanding effect of different architectural parameters in multiple issue processor 

==========================================================================================
Part 1 :Design a optimal superscalar architecture for a benchmark using simplescalar
        simulator. you are allow to change all the parameters in simplescalar. For most of 
        the parameter of  simplescalar, when you increase parameter value  the total 
        simulation cycle reduce initialy after that its saturates. The main issue in this 
        task is in which order and way you are changing parameters. 
        
        Choosing a parameter value of near saturation region based on the cost of parameter.
        you may assume some valid costs for parameters.

Part 2 :Take three parameter A, B and C and find out co-relation between them. If you increase 
        A performance is increasing but simulateously if you are increaing A and B the may be
        the performance decrease. You require to calculate the corelation coefficient between
        these two parameters (AB, BC and CA).   

==========================================================================================
Hint and Supports:
    A)You don't require to run simplescalar manually by changing parameters in configuration file, 
     collecting data, ploting and analizing.
     
     C++ source of a program is available to you. That can be downloaded from moodle or 
    www.cse.iitd.ac.in/~asahu/. The is written in such a way that

	1. you can create a Architecture  object
	2. you simulate your application(c source) using that Arch object using simpleescalar
	3. you vary all parameters of your Arch object.
	4. It also plot graph of differnet result using gnuplot and produce dicestly to ps file

    B)You can download a sample latex documetation file from www.cse.iitd.ac.in/~asahu and
      also can see very good c++ reference and gnuplot documentation in the following local link
      http://asahu.cse.iitd.ac.in/gnuplot/ and http://asahu.cse.iitd.ac.in/cpp
