Screen shot of SimHYMN v1.0d, released February 2004
SimHYMN simulates a simple 8-instruction CPU and 32-byte memory designed for learning about how a CPU executes a program. The CPU contains three registers: IR (instruction register), PC (program counter), and AC (accumulator). The eight instructions are as follows.
| code | ||
| 000 | HALT | nothing happens |
| 001 | JUMP | PC := data |
| 010 | JZER | if AC = 0 then PC := data else PC := PC + 1 |
| 011 | JPOS | if AC > 0 then PC := data else PC := PC + 1 |
| 100 | LOAD | AC := M[data]; PC := PC + 1 |
| 101 | STOR | AC := M[data]; PC := PC + 1 |
| 110 | ADD | AC := AC + M[data]; PC := PC + 1 |
| 111 | SUB | AC := AC - M[data]; PC := PC + 1 |
SimHYMN should run on any platform having Java 1.4. The program is free for your personal use, though you cannot distribute it to others.
