SIC/XE Simulator

A complete SIC/XE architecture simulator with instruction execution, device I/O, and memory management.

Quick Start

The easiest way to build and run the simulator:

make run

This single command will:

Configure the build system (if needed)
Compile all source files
Link the executable
Run the simulator

Build Commands

Command	Description
`make`	Build the project
`make run`	Build and run the simulator
`make clean`	Clean build artifacts

Features

SIC/XE Architecture: Complete register set (A, X, L, B, S, T, F, PC, SW)
Instruction Execution: Format 1, 2, and 3/4 instruction support
Device I/O: Input, output, and file device management
Memory Management: 24-bit address space with proper bounds checking

Development

The project uses CMake with a convenient Makefile wrapper. All build artifacts are placed in target/bin/ for easy access.

For manual CMake usage:

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j
