Abstract: In the actual teaching of course Computer Architecture, such as parallel execution of instructions in the pipeline mechanism, as well as the three typical pipeline-related that affect the performance and the performance improvement after the elimination of three performance-related and other content, some students understand relatively difficult. WINDLX simulator not only can demonstrate the working principle of DLX instruction in the pipeline machine through the program written, but also can provide the statistic of program status which is executing on the pipeline machine.
