Re-enabling implicit parenting (see previous patch) causes current Ruby config scripts to create some strange hierarchies and generate several warnings. This patch makes three general changes to address these issues. 1. The order of object creation in the ruby config files makes the L1 caches children of the sequencer rather than the controller; these config ciles are rewritten to assign the L1 caches to the controller first. 2. The assignment of the sequencer list to system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports causes the sequencers to be children of system.ruby, generating warnings because they are already parented to their respective controllers. Changing this attribute to _cpu_ruby_ports fixes this because the leading underscore means this is now treated as a plain Python attribute rather than a child assignment. As a result, the configuration hierarchy changes such that, e.g., system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports0 becomes system.l1_cntrl0.sequencer. 3. In the topology classes, the routers become children of some random internal link node rather than direct children of the topology. The topology classes are rewritten to assign the routers to the topology object first.
This is 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 0.98.1 or newer, get it from http://wwww.scons.org. 2. If you don't have SWIG version 1.3.31 or newer, get it from http://wwww.swig.org. 3. Make sure you also have gcc version 3.4.6 or newer, Python 2.4 or newer (the dev version with header files), zlib, and the m4 preprocessor. 4. 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: - configs: simulation configuration scripts - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5 - src: source code of the m5 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. These files for Alpha are collected in a separate archive, m5_system.tar.bz2. This file can he downloaded separately. Depending on the ISA used, M5 may support 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
