I was blown away by this 2011 video of Charles Moore talking about his CPU design and running code, talking about how the different nodes are creating the frequencies to produce the images you see on the projector - [this video]

The following two points are highly tangential and don't squarely answer your question; I'm just mentioning them as things to file away in case they turn out to be relevant. - [LINK] shows an experimental new CPU architecture which appears to be single-core but demonstrates interesting power savings and speedups by eschewing standard on-chip caching and building a smarter compiler. TL;DR closed-source compiler, but I think the people making the design are trying to make the architecture design/registers/overview/etc as open as practical/viable with free documentation etc. I'm not sure if there's a simulator for it. I'm very sure they're already taking on commercial customers, and getting acc

There's some on youtube in the manufacturer's channel, Greenarray. [this video] Also maybe try the designer's site, Chuck Moore. Google Colorforth.
