TLDR
The M5 simulator provides features necessary for simulating networked hosts, including full-system capability, a detailed I/O subsystem, and the ability to simulate multiple networked systems deterministically.Abstract:
The M5 simulator is developed specifically to enable research in TCP/IP networking. The M5 simulator provides features necessary for simulating networked hosts, including full-system capability, a detailed I/O subsystem, and the ability to simulate multiple networked systems deterministically. M5's usefulness as a general-purpose architecture simulator and its liberal open-source license has led to its adoption by several academic and commercial groupsread more

McPAT: an integrated power, area, and timing modeling framework for multicore and manycore architectures
TL;DR: Combining power, area, and timing results of McPAT with performance simulation of PARSEC benchmarks at the 22nm technology node for both common in-order and out-of-order manycore designs shows that when die cost is not taken into account clustering 8 cores together gives the best energy-delay product, whereas when cost is taking into account configuring clusters with 4 cores gives thebest EDA2P and EDAP.

Sniper: exploring the level of abstraction for scalable and accurate parallel multi-core simulation
TL;DR: Interval simulation provides a balance between detailed cycle-accurate simulation and one-IPC simulation, allowing long-running simulations to be modeled much faster than with detailed cycle, while still providing the detail necessary to observe core-uncore interactions across the entire system.
