Welcome to GPGPU-Sim, a cycle-level simulator modeling contemporary graphics
processing units (GPUs) running GPU computing workloads written in CUDA or
-OpenCL. Also included in GPGPU-Sim is a configurable and extensible power
-model that has been rigorously validated with power measurements from real
-hardware GPUs.
+OpenCL. Also included in GPGPU-Sim is a performance visualization tool called
+AerialVision and a configurable and extensible power model called GPUWattch.
+GPGPU-Sim and GPUWattch have been rigorously validated with performance and
+power measurements of real hardware GPUs.
This version of GPGPU-Sim has been tested with CUDA version 2.3, 3.1 and 4.0.
