Below you will find some information on how to use the PUMA Simulator.
This emulator was created as part of the PUMA work presented at ASPLOS 2019.

Below you can find the system requirements and versions tested.
Requirement | Version |
---|---|
OS: Ubuntu | 16.04.3 LTS (Xenial Xerus) |
Python | 2.7.12 |
sudo apt-get install python-tk
sudo pip install http://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu80/torch-0.3.0.post4-cp27-cp27mu-linux_x86_64.whl
sudo pip install -r <dpe_emulate>/requirements.txt
If you are behind a proxy, you should type sudo pip --proxy $http_proxy install ...
instead.
For testing if everything is working fine:
cd <puma-simulator>/src
python dpe.py
Then, you should see some results like:
...
('Cycle: ', 8783, 'Tile halt list', [1, 1, 0, 1])
('Cycle: ', 8784, 'Tile halt list', [1, 1, 0, 1])
('Cycle: ', 8785, 'Tile halt list', [1, 1, 0, 1])
('Cycle: ', 8786, 'Tile halt list', [1, 1, 1, 1])
cycle: 8786 Node Halted
Finally node halted | PS: max_cycles 10000
('Dumping tile num: ', 0)
('Dumping tile num: ', 1)
('Dumping tile num: ', 2)
('Dumping tile num: ', 3)
Output Tile dump finished
Success: Hadrware results compiled!!
This emulator executes models compiled by PUMA Compiler (https://github.com/illinois-impact/puma-compiler).
After you compile a model using the compiler, in order to execute it with the DPE emulator, follow the steps below:
1- Copy
2- Edit
SIMULATOR_PATH="<emulator_root_path>"
3- Execute the generate-py.sh script
4- Look at the number of tiles generated by the compiler for ths model and update the value of "num_tile_compute" entry in
5- Go to emulator src directory (
python2 dpe.py -n <model_name>
