This changeset contains a lot of different changes that are too mingled to separate. They are: 1. Added MOESI_CMP_directory I made the changes necessary to bring back MOESI_CMP_directory, including adding a DMA controller. I got rid of MOESI_CMP_directory_m and made MOESI_CMP_directory use a memory controller. Added a new configuration for two level protocols in general, and MOESI_CMP_directory in particular. 2. DMA Sequencer uses a generic SequencerMsg I will eventually make the cache Sequencer use this type as well. It doesn't contain an offset field, just a physical address and a length. MI_example has been updated to deal with this. 3. Parameterized Controllers SLICC controllers can now take custom parameters to use for mapping, latencies, etc. Currently, only int parameters are supported.
This is release 2.0_beta6 of the M5 simulator. For detailed information about building the simulator and getting started please refer to http://www.m5sim.org. Specific pages of interest are: http://www.m5sim.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_M5 http://www.m5sim.org/wiki/index.php/Running_M5 Short version: 1. If you don't have SCons version 0.96.91 or newer, get it from http://wwww.scons.org. 2. If you don't have SWIG version 1.3.28 or newer, get it from http://wwww.swig.org. 3. In this directory, type 'scons build/ALPHA_SE/tests/debug/quick'. This will build the debug version of the m5 binary (m5.debug) for the Alpha syscall emulation target, and run the quick regression tests on it. If you have questions, please send mail to m5-users@m5sim.org WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT) ------------------------- The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - m5: - src: source code of the m5 simulator - tests: regression tests - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5 To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled console, PALcode, and kernel binaries and one or more disk images. These files are collected in a separate archive, m5_system.tar.bz2. This file can he downloaded separately. M5 supports Linux 2.4/2.6, FreeBSD, and the proprietary Compaq/HP Tru64 version of Unix. We are able to distribute Linux and FreeBSD bootdisks, but we are unable to distribute bootable disk images of Tru64 Unix. If you have a Tru64 license and are interested in obtaining disk images, contact us at m5-users@m5sim.org
