Does anyone out there know about the existence of or current work 
on a general purpose computer architecture simulator?  Basically, 
I want to be able to simulate various existing computer architectures 
from 8 bit to 64 bit cpus, using my own "instructions" .  

I am looking for a simulator that will allow me to change such 
parameters as: word size, byte ordering, instruction format, 
addressing modes and also the usage of pipelines and caches.  

I would like to use this simulator as a training aid for a future 
course on computer architecture.  

If you have information, I can be reached at 201-981-2429, or by mail
