We thank other past and present members of the RSIM group for their contributions. Hazim Abdel-Shafi contributed parts of the memory system simulator code and documentation. Murthy Durbhakula provided valuable support in setting up the RSIM distribution. Jonathan Hall worked on initial versions of the memory system simulator. Tracy Harton supported our development effort over the last two years.
We are also grateful to the Rice Parallel Processing Testbed (RPPT) group. Significant parts of the RSIM memory and network system are based on code from RPPT, a project led by Prof. J. R. Jump and Prof. J. B. Sinclair and involving several graduate students.
The development of RSIM was funded in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. CCR-9410457, CCR-9502500, CDA-9502791, and CDA-9617383, the Texas Advanced Technology Program under Grant No. 003604016, and funds from Rice University. Vijay S. Pai is also supported by a Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Fellowship.
