The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Compute Caches (2017, methodology): “We model a multi-core processor using SniperSim [21], a Pin-based simulator per Table IV.”
ZSim: fast and accurate microarchitectural simulation of thousand-core systems (2013, methodology): “Other parallel simulators [8, 27] relax synchronization requirements to achieve scalability.”
An Evaluation of High-Level Mechanistic Core Models (2014, methodology): “Interval simulation has been shown to be both a fast and accurate way to simulate the effects of microarchitectural changes on performance [Genbrugge et al. 2010; Carlson et al. 2011].”
Accel-Sim: An Extensible Simulation Framework for Validated GPU Modeling (2018, background): “Sniper [7] is a multithreaded CPU simulator that can execute in trace-or execution-driven mode using PIN-based callbacks to simulate instructions without emulation.”
