What is SIM file?
SIM file extension is a Microsoft Windows operating system filename extension for the SIM (System Management Interface) executable file format. It is used to monitor and record performance information from Intel CPUs and other processors. These files are typically used by software programs to monitor various parameters of a CPU or mainboard/chipset on which they are running. The Intel VTune performance monitors can collect data such as processor utilization, cache misses, instruction count, branch mispredictions, branch penalty, and many other metrics.
