To be frank, none!  But the idea behind GUSS is that it should be 
a tool for developers of system software, such as operating systems
and device drivers.  So the focus will be on debugging and profiling
features.

: Are you planning to do a system on chip simulator?

Not currently.

Yeah, of couse.  Esp for cache and debug.  When it comes to the
MMU simulation I use a internal tlb-like function that increases
the performance of the simulator.

Very true.

Sorry for the delayed reply, I was away and visited my parents
