Abstract: A simulation device being a “host” simulates execution of a program in a “guest” using a cache for reading instructions in the program. In the simulation device, an execution unit executes instructions described in host code stored in a buffer. When host code wherein a next instruction being an instruction to be executed by the execution unit next is described is not stored in the buffer, a processing unit reads from a storage medium a guest code group with a size of a cache line, including guest code wherein the next instruction is described, converts the guest code group read, generates a host code group including the host code wherein the next instruction is described, and collectively writes the host code group generated, as a host code block, in the buffer.

Abstract: In a simulation apparatus, an execution unit sequentially loads host codes stored in a buffer. The execution unit executes an instruction of each loaded host code. The execution unit also determines whether a corresponding code being a target code corresponding to each loaded host code is included in a tag table. When the execution unit determines that the corresponding code is not included in the tag table, the execution unit simulates an operation for a cache miss situation with respect to the corresponding code. The execution unit updates the tag table according to the simulated operation.
