Welcome to Yuzawa.

Project Overview

We are building a one-stop, cloud-based computer architecture simulation infrastructure designed to:

• Reduce Barriers: Simplify the use of simulators and make them more accessible.
• Enhance Research Capabilities: Enable complex, multi-device, multi-system simulations that were previously impossible.
• Improve Reproducibility: Provide a unified platform that enhances the validity and reproducibility of research.
• Boost Interpretability: Integrate visualization tools to help users better understand and analyze simulation results.

Key Features

• Compatibility Layer: Interoperates models from different simulators like gem5, SST, and MGPUSim, creating a unified simulation ecosystem.
• Model Zoo: An online repository where researchers can publish, modify, validate, and use simulation models.
• Configuration Tool: A graphical web-based interface that simplifies the setup of simulation experiments.
• Cloud Execution and Monitoring: Run simulations in the cloud with real-time monitoring capabilities.
• Visualization Tools: Integrated performance analytics and visualization tools to improve result interpretation.

Advantages

• Lowering Barriers: Makes it easier for students and researchers, especially those with limited resources, to participate in computer architecture research.
• Enhancing Research Capabilities: Supports complex simulations, enabling the exploration of new technologies and architectures.
• Educational Tool: Helps students understand hardware behavior without extensive simulator configuration, enriching the talent pool.
• Industry Application: Reduces costs for companies to maintain simulators and accelerates R&D processes, maintaining their competitive edge.

Community Engagement

We will involve stakeholders through workshops, surveys, and support sessions to refine and expand the infrastructure. Our open-access web service and open-source code base will encourage community contribution and collaboration, fostering a thriving research ecosystem.
