Thank you for your confidence! I will check in the changes as soon as I have the appropriate rights.
Before I used your linked list model the simulator required more memory than I have in my PC so that it started swapping. Because of this in my special case the simulation speed increased even with the linked list architecture as it doesn't swap any more. I haven't done any exact measurements neither on memory usage nor on speed, also the 4x increase is a very rough estimation. I'm just happy that I found a solution to simulate my whole system including external memory.
There's an initial version checked in (1.1) and there's a branch (1.1.1.1). I can't see any differences. Are there any? What were the reasons for branching?
I can't find any license statements with this core. I would like to see it under the GPL. How do you think about it?
Michael
