💻 Python GUI CPU Simulator

A lightweight, interactive CPU simulator written in Python that features a Graphical User Interface (GUI). This simulator visually models the execution of instructions, showing real-time state changes within instruction memory, data memory, registers, and control units.

🧠 Features & Simulation Architecture

The application visually breaks down the standard processor design components into distinct modules, simulating how binary configurations translate into register operations.

• GUI Dashboard: An interactive interface that visualizes register arrays, clock steps, and active execution pathways.
• Instruction Memory Layout: Simulates instruction caching and fetching mechanisms step-by-step.
• Data Memory Management: Models independent read/write cycles for dynamic memory simulation.
