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 ALPHA, 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.
