| Summary: | This paper presents the RASP (Random Access Stored Program) abstract machine emulator implemented as a plugin for emuStudio
– extendable platform for computer architectures emulation. It consists of three submodules – the CPU emulator (the core of the
plugin), main memory for storing RASP machine’s program and data and compiler of RASP assembly language. The compiler is able
to translate RASP program source code into the form executable by the emulator. The main goal is to provide a supporting tool for
Data Structures and Algorithms, respectively other subjects taught at the Department of Computers and Informatics. In addition to
this, its aim is also to contribute to emuStudio platform so as to support its further development. There are not many universal software
products for computer emulation flexibly extendable by plugins for new architectures and that is why emuStudio deserves our interest.
Its flexibility makes it an ideal study supporting tool. |
