Scarab is a cycle accurate simulator for state-of-the-art, high performance, multicore chips. Scarab's goal is to be highly accurate, while also being fast and easy to work with.

• Accurate: Scarab is detailed cycle accurate uArchitecture model
• Fast: 600 KIPS trace-driven, 100 KIPS exec-driven
• SimPoint Support: Checkpoints, Fast-Forward, Marker Instructions
• Execute-at-Fetch: Easier support for oracle features, faster development of new features

• Single-threaded x86_64 programs that can be run on Intel's PIN

• All typical pipeline stages and out-of-order structures (Fetch, Decode, Rename, Retire, ROB, R/S, and more...)
• Multicore
• Wrong path simulation
• Cache Hierarchy (Private L1, Private MLC, Private/Shared LLC)
• Ramulator Memory Simulator (DDR3/4, LPDDR3/4, GDDR5, HBM, WideIO/2, and more...)
• Interface to McPat and CACTI for system level power/energy modeling
• Support for DVFS
• Latest Branch Predictors and Data Prefetchers (TAGE-SC-L, Stride, Stream, 2dc, GHB, Markov, and more...)

• 32-bit binaries not supported (work in progress)
• Performance of System Code not modeled
• No cooperative multithreaded code

• No SMT
• No real OS virtual to physical address translation
• Shared bus interconnect only (ring, mesh, and others are in progress.)

Scarab was created in collaboration with HPS and SAFARI. This project was sponsored by Intel Labs.
