An MIPS simulator which allows _very_ detailed simulation and profiling
is available from the university at Stanford.  It features multiple
MIPS simulators which allow to simulate an entire system with varying
degree of performance and details.  If you manage to port Linux/MIPS to
SimOS, then I'd be very interested because this should make it possible
to analyse bugs and performance in the MIPS kernel with a yet unreached
precission.  Tell me if you need help with this.
