SENSE is still in its development phase, so it is incomplete, and may contain unexpected errors and bugs. Please email comments and suggestions to

Installation Steps:

Your computer must meet the following requirements:

Working C and C++ compilers must be installed, preferably gcc (SENSE has been tested with gcc version 4.1.3).
Lex and Yacc, or their equivalents (flex and bison) must be installed
Cygwin is required in a Windows environment.

Download the desired file from the download directory. Note that there is a zip file specifically for Windows.
After decompressing the file, you will find a new directory named sense-X.Y.Z where X.Y.Z is the version number.
In order to build the simulator:

cd sense-3.0.3/code
make

To build the examples:

make test

To build the utilities that will analysis the state of the SSR or SHR simulation:

cd analyzer/src
make

Notes on Version 2.0

It is strongly recommended that you download and use Version 3.0.3. Version 2.0 is still available for those who want it. But, the following points should be noted about Version 2.0:

It does not compile with gcc version 4.
It does not use lex or yacc.
There is an extra step in the installation process. After decompressing the tar or zip file, run the ./configure file in the top directory.
