Nathan Binkert 02098f8e7b Totally re-work the way that jobfiles are done so there is more 
information that can be used for other aspects of sending jobs.
New graphing output stuff with matplotlib.

util/pbs/job.py:
    Shuffle code around and create the JobDir class which encapsulates
    all of the functionality needed for making, organizing, and cleaning
    a job directory.
    Better status output
util/pbs/jobfile.py:
    Majory re-working of the jobfile code.
    A job file now consists of several objects that describe how
    jobs should be run, it includes information about checkpoints,
    and graphing.
util/pbs/send.py:
    use the new jobfile code.
    deal with the 15 character limit of pbs by truncating the name and
    using the raj hack.
util/stats/db.py:
    fix the __str__ function for nodes
    provide __getitem__ for the Database class
util/stats/stats.py:
    use the jobfile stuff to figure out what the proper naming
    and organziation of the graphs should be.
    move all output code to output.py, get rid of ploticus and use
    matplotlib

README 

This is release m5_1.1 of the M5 simulator.

This file contains brief "getting started" information and release
notes.  For more information, see http://m5.eecs.umich.edu.  If you
have questions, please send mail to m5sim-users@lists.sourceforge.net.

WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT)
-------------------------

Since you're reading this file, presumably you've managed to untar the
distribution.  The archive you've unpacked has three subdirectories:
 - m5: the simulator itself
 - m5-test: regression tests and scripts to run them
 - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5
 - alpha-system: source for Alpha console and PALcode

M5 is a capable, full-system simulator that current supports both Linux
2.4/2.6 and the proprietary Compaq/HP Tru64 version of Unix. We are able 
to distribute Linux 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.

WHAT'S NEEDED
-------------
- GCC (version 3.3 or 3.4 recommended)
- Python 2.3 or newer
- SCons 0.96.1 (see http://www.scons.org)

WHAT'S RECOMMENDED
------------------
- MySQL (for statistics complex statistics storage/retrieval)
- Python-MysqlDB (for statistics analysis) 

GETTING STARTED
---------------

There are two different build targets and three optimizations levels:

Target:
-------
ALPHA_SE - Syscall emulation simulation
ALPHA_FS - Full system simulation

Optimization:
-------------
m5.debug - debug version of the code with tracing and without optimization
m5.opt   - optimized version of code with tracing
m5.fast  - optimized version of the code without tracing and asserts

Different targets are built in different subdirectories of m5/build.
Binaries with the same target but different optimization levels share
the same directory.  Note that you can build m5 in any directory you
choose by copying the SConstruct file there and creating symbolic links
to the 'm5' and 'ext' directories.

The following steps will build and test the simulator.  The variable
"$top" refers to the top directory where you've unpacked the files,
i.e., the one containing the m5, m5-test, and ext directories.  If you
have a multiprocessor system, you should give scons a "-j N" argument (like
make) to run N jobs in parallel.

To build and test the syscall-emulation simulator:

	cd $top/m5/build
	scons ALPHA_SE/test/opt/quick

To build and test the full-system simualator:

1. Download the full-system binary package from
   http://m5.eecs.umich.edu/dist/m5_system_1.1.tar.bz2.  This package includes
   disk images and kernel, palcode, and console binaries for Linux and FreeBSD.
2. Edit SYSTEMDIR in $top/m5-test/SysPaths.py to point to your local copy
   of the binaries.
3. In $top/m5/build, run "scons ALPHA_FS/opt/test/quick".
