Introduction
MarieSim is an environment within which you h h h can write your own programs and watch how they would run on a real "von Neumann von architecture" computer system. By running programs on this simulator, not simulator only will you see your programs in action, but y you will also get a taste of assembler g language programming without learning any particular assembly language beyond the simple instructions that textbook has presented.

Introduction (Cont.)
MarieSim was written in the Java language so that the system would be portable to any platform for which a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is available. Students of Java may wish to look at the simulator's source code, and perhaps even supply improvements or enhancements to its simple functions.

Run the program
To begin T b i execution, you can select [Run] or [Step]. ti l t [R ] [St ] If you select [Step], a single fetch-decode-execute cycle is processed in the simulator. [Run] executes the program without pausing. (You can stop the program during its execution.) If you find that observing the instruction fetch part of the simulation becomes boring, you can turn "fast fetch mode" on. This feature reduces the delay between machine cycles during instruction fetch only. The machine cycle delay is restored for the rest of the instruction execution.
