The sandbox module is providing a sandbox environment for a specific TestCase via the multiprocessing package. This isolation/complexity is not strictly needed as testlib is already forking a new process via subprocess. As it is now, a TestRunner will generate: TestRunner -> multiprocessing.Process -> subprocess.Popen (2 generated procs) With this patch we are removing the intermediate layer TestRunner -> subprocess.Popen (1 generated proc) JIRA: https://gem5.atlassian.net/projects/GEM5/issues/GEM5-533 Change-Id: Icd5cadbe316653a9269ab098ec4c07f21b864ad3 Signed-off-by: Giacomo Travaglini <giacomo.travaglini@arm.com> Reviewed-on: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/30215 Maintainer: Bobby R.

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/about, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation and http://www.gem5.org/documentation/learning_gem5/introduction. 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/documentation/general_docs/building 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 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/documentation/general_docs/building for more details and options. 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. If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
