"OCCARM: An Occam Parallel Simulation Model of the AMULET1 Asynchronous Microprocessor" (OCCARM) by Georgios K. Theodoropoulos <georget@cs.man.ac.uk> OCCARM is a simulation model of the AMULET1 microprocessor -- asynchronous implementations of the ARM RISC microprocessor developed at the University of Manchester.

OCCARM has been implemented as a hierarchy of occam processes, with each process modelling a different functional module of AMULET1. OCCARM consists of more than fifteen thousand lines of occam code.
