Akita https://github.com/sarchlab/akita
Akita is a highly flexible event-driven computer architecture
simulator engine. Akita features first party models like caches,
TLBs, and memory controllers. Akita also highlights the capability
of monitoring the simulation in realtime and visualizing the
simulation results.
MGPUSim https://github.com/sarchlab/mgpusim
MGPUSim is a GPU simulator that especially features the capability
of simulating multi-GPU platforms. MGPUSim simulates OpenCL
workloads running on AMD GPUs. MGPUSim is built on top of Akita.
