Thefast and accurate processor simulator is an essential tool foreffective design of modern high-performance application-specificinstruction set processors. The nowadays trend of ASIP design isfocused on automatic simulator generation based on a processordescription in an architecture description language. The simulator isused for testing and validation of designed processor or targetapplication. Furthermore, the simulator can produce the profilinginformation. This information can aid design space exploration andthe processor and target application optimization. In this paper, wepresent the concept of automatically generated just-in-timetranslated simulator with the profiling capabilities. This simulatoris very fast, and it is generated in a short time. It can be evenused for simulation of special applications, such as applicationswith self-modifying code or applications for systems with externalmemories. The experimental results can be found at the end of thepaper.
