This patch syncs the DRAMPower library of gem5 to the external github (https://github.com/ravenrd/DRAMPower). The version pulled in is the commit: 90d6290f802c29b3de9e10233ceee22290907ce6 from 30th Oct. 2016. This change also modifies the DRAM Ctrl interaction with the DRAMPower, due to changes in the lib API in the above version. Previously multiple functions were called to prepare the power lib before calling the function that would calculate the enery. With the new API, these functions are encompassed inside the function to calculate the energy and therefore should now be removed from the DRAM controller. The other key difference is the introduction of a new function called calcWindowEnergy which can be useful for any system that wants to do measurements over intervals. For gem5 DRAM ctrl that means we now need to accumulate the window energy measurements into the total stat.

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.
