The new implementation uses metaclass, and gives a lot more precise control with a lot less verbosity. The flags/no flags reg/imm variants are all handled by the same python class now which supplies a constructor to the right C++ class based on context. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 712e3ec6de7a5a038da083f79635fd7a687d56e5
This is release 2.0_beta (patch 1) 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 - system/alpha: source for Alpha console and PALcode 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-dev@eecs.umich.edu.
