The Python version installed in the Dockerfile for GCN3 by apt-get is too old to build gem5. This bumps the version to the most recent Python to avoid needing to update this file too much. Python 3.9 is install via PPA since it is not available in the official Ubuntu 16.04 repository. Likewise, pip is installed from "source" as it is not available for Python 3.9 in from neither the PPA nor Ubuntu.

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.
