27 .SH DESCRIPTION
28
29 Use `\|\c
30 .BI run " program"\c
31 \&\|' to execute a binary by interpreting machine instructions on your
32 host computer.
33
34 .B run
35 is the same emulator used by GDB's `\|\c
36 .B target sim\c
37 \&\|' command. You can run it directly by executing
38 .B run
39 if you just want to see your program execute, and do not need any
40 debugger functionality. You can also use
41 .B run
42 to generate profiling information for analysis with
43 .BR gprof .

45 .SH OPTIONS
46
47 .TP
48 .B \-v
49 Verbose output. Display the name of the program to run before
50 execution; after execution, display the number of instructions
51 executed, the number of machine cycles emulated, the number of
52 pipeline stalls, the real time taken, the emulated execution time
53 taken, and a summary of how much profiling information was generated.

56 ." .B \-t
57 ." `trace', calls a sim_trace routine that does nothing.

59 .TP
60 .BI \-p " freq"
61 Generate profile information (for use with
62 .B gprof\c
63 \&).
64 .I freq
65 is the profiling frequency. Write the profiling information to a file called
66 .BR gmon.out .
67
68 .TP
69 .BI \-m " memory"
70 Set the memory size for the emulated machine to two to the power
71 .IR memory .
72 The default value is 19, emulating a board with 524288 bytes of memory.
