Make the AlphaConsole calculate the number of CPUs instead
of passing that in as a parameter.
cpu/base.cc:
pass the desired cpu_id into registerExecContext, offsetting it
by the thread number. a cpu_id of -1 means that it should be
generated for you.
cpu/base.hh:
Take the cpu_id as a parameter
cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_builder.cc:
cpu/simple/cpu.cc:
Accept the cpu_id as a parameter
while we're here, let's remove the multiplier since it is
not used.
dev/alpha_console.cc:
don't take the number of CPUs as a parameter. Calculate it from
the system based on the number of CPUs that have been registered.
move init() code to startup() to ensure that all CPUs are registerd.
dev/alpha_console.hh:
python/m5/objects/AlphaConsole.py:
don't take the number of CPUs as a parameter.
move init() code to startup() to ensure that all CPUs are registerd.
python/m5/objects/BaseCPU.py:
take the cpu_id as a parameter. Default it to -1 which means
that it will be generated.
sim/system.cc:
allow the registerExecContext functioin to take a desired
cpu_id as a parameter. Check to ensure that the id isn't
already used. Accept -1 as a request to have an id assigned.
sim/system.hh:
keep track of the number of registered exec contexts.
provide a function for accessing the number of exec contexts
that checks to ensure that they are all registered correctly.

This is release m5_1.0 of the M5 simulator. This file contains brief "getting started" information and release notes. For more information, see http://m5.eecs.umich.edu. If you have questions, please send mail to m5sim-users@lists.sourceforge.net. WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT) ------------------------- Since you're reading this file, presumably you've managed to untar the distribution. The archive you've unpacked has three subdirectories: - m5: the simulator itself - m5-test: regression tests and scripts to run them - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5 (currently ply and libelf) M5 is a capable, full-system simulator that current supports both Linux 2.4/2.6 and the proprietary Compaq/HP Tru64 version of Unix. We are able to distribute Linux 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-dev@eecs.umich.edu. WHAT'S NEEDED ------------- -GCC(3.X) -Python(2.4+) WHAT'S RECOMMENDED ------------------ -MySQL (for statistics complex statistics storage/retrieval) -Python-MysqlDB (for statistics analysis) GETTING STARTED --------------- The following steps will build and test the simulator. The variable "$top" refers to the top directory where you've unpacked the files, i.e., the one containing the m5, m5-test, and ext directories. There are three different build targets and three optimizations in each level: Target: ------- ALPHA_SE - Syscall emulation simulation ALPHA_FS - Linux full system simulation ALPHA_FS_TL - Tru64 (Turbolaser) Unix full system simulation Optimization: ------------- m5.debug - debug version of the code with tracing and without optimization m5.opt - optimized version of code with tracing m5.fast - optimized version of the code without tracing and asserts cd $top/m5/build scons TARGET/OPTLEVL # e.g. ALPHA_FS/m5.opt, use -j N if you have a MP system cd $top/m5-test ./do-tests.pl -B ALPHA_SE # test what you just built ./do-tests.pl -B ALPHA_FS # test what you just built # wait for tests to run... # should end with "finished do-tests successfully!"
