### DRAMSys with gem5 Elastic Traces
Some predefined configs are stored in dram.vp.system/DRAMSys/gem5/configs and the related python files are stored here: dram.vp.system/DRAMSys/gem5/examples
For understanding elastic traces and their generation, study the gem5 wiki
(http://gem5.org/TraceCPU) and the paper [13]. Some predefined configs are
stored in dram.vp.system/DRAMSys/gem5/configs and the related python files are
stored here: dram.vp.system/DRAMSys/gem5/examples
This is an example for running an elastic trace:
``` bash
./DRAMSys_gem5 /path/to/dram.vp.system/DRAMSys/library/resources/simulations/ddr3-example.xml ../../DRAMSys/gem5/configs/singleElasticTraceReplay.ini
```
Note that the address offset is usually zero for elastic traces.
If two elastic traces should be used the main.cpp must be modified:
``` c++
//#define CHOICE1
#define CHOICE2
//#define CHOICE3
```
Run the simulation with the following example:
```
./DRAMSys_gem5 /path/to/dram.vp.system/DRAMSys/library/resources/simulations/ddr3-example.xml ../../DRAMSys/gem5/configs/dualElasticTraceReplay.ini
```
For more spophisticated setups, even with l2 caches the proper ini file should be created.
If you need help please contact Matthias Jung.
