M5 – a <5 min. update that will be stretched to 15 min. Paul E West. Where other people are at. Trying to get traces to work (on multipcore) Can run muilt-processor, but problems like cycle count. Can run different programs on each core. Other people are trying to modify the caches.

M5 – a <5 min. update that will be stretched to 15 min. Paul E West
Where other people are at • Trying to get traces to work (on multipcore) • Can run muilt-processor, but problems like cycle count. • Can run different programs on each core. • Other people are trying to modify the caches. • Some success on running Splash-2
Where Paul is at • System call level? • Full System runs (on summit). • To run in Full system mode, a boot image must be created. This boot image requires a kernel. • I got the kernel to compile, but then I had to write this presentation... (excuses, excuses)
Compiling/Running FS • All of this is on M5's website • To compile: '% scons build/ALPHA_FS/m5.opt' • (That should already be done) • Edit System settings: 'vim configs/common/SysPaths.py' • Run the simulation: './build/ALPHA_FS/m5.opt configs/example/fs.py -b NetperfMaerts' • Connect with m5term (Not installed yet...) • Do it.
Comments on m5term • Again, I'll hopefully have it installed today. • It appears that logging in through m5term is what starts the full system simulation. • Very minimal shell • Yes, load up is long. It almost appears to hang.
The End • Questions? Comments? Screams of angst?
