When you add the AweSim Processor, CPU Simulation Stats are added to the
Main Window.

Northbridge by shift-click-dragging from one to the other. When the
“Connections” tab of Device Properties Window appears (shown in Figure 6-2),
choose the CPU Bus 0 for both devices, and click on Ok. The connection appears
as a line between the two devices on the Device Window. Then create an
additional connection between the two devices using the Interrupt/IOAPIC Bus on
each device. The Device Window shows only one line for the two connections
between these devices. You can view the connections for each device by right-
clicking on the device and looking at the “Connections” tab in the Device
