This map is intended to map from request MasterIDs to master names. It could be used to map to arbitrary strings in other situations, however. The original idea to store this information was to add a new message type which would store one ID and the string associated with it. This change stores the IDs in the header instead so that they'll be easy to find and all available before the packet data. One downside of this approach is that it won't be possible to add new master ID strings as they come up during a trace. If that becomes an issue, the two approaches could be combined and messages could be added which would augment the map in the header. Also worth mentioning is that the proto2 version of the protobuf description language does not support the "map" field type, and the protoc compiler on my workstation doesn't support proto3. Because that's such an appropriate representation for this data, the map is represented in an equivalent format described in the proto3 documentation.

This is the gem5 simulator. The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/Introduction, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/Documentation and http://www.gem5.org/Tutorials. To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang, Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4, and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/Dependencies for more details concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools. Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ALPHA, ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture. See http://www.gem5.org/Build_System for more details and options. With the simulator built, have a look at http://www.gem5.org/Running_gem5 for more information on how to use gem5. The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - configs: example simulation configuration scripts - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5 - src: source code of the gem5 simulator - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems - tests: regression tests - util: useful utility programs and files To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware (console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk images. Please see the gem5 download page for these items at http://www.gem5.org/Download If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
