Aug. 14, 2006: m5_2.0_beta
Aug. 15, 2006: m5_2.0_beta
--------------------
Major update to M5 including:
- New CPU model
- New memory system
- More extensive python integration
- Preliminary syscall emulation support for MIPS and SPARC
This is a *beta* release, meaning that some features are not complete,
and some features from M5 1.X aren't currently supported (e.g., MP
coherence). We are working to address these limitations and hope to
have a complete 2.0 release soon.
Oct. 8, 2005: m5_1.1
