Joel Hestness 0479569f67 ruby: Fix RubySystem warm-up and cool-down scope The processes of warming up and cooling down Ruby caches are simulation-wide processes, not just RubySystem instance-specific processes. Thus, the warm-up and cool-down variables should be globally visible to any Ruby components participating in either process. Make these variables static members and track the warm-up and cool-down processes as appropriate. This patch also has two side benefits: 1) It removes references to the RubySystem g_system_ptr, which are problematic for allowing multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation. Warmup and cooldown variables being static (global) reduces the need for instance-specific dereferences through the RubySystem. 2) From the AbstractController, it removes local RubySystem pointers, which are used inconsistently with other uses of the RubySystem: 11 other uses reference the RubySystem with the g_system_ptr. Only sequencers have local pointers.		2015-05-19 10:56:51 -05:00

README

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/Introduction, and for
more information about building the simulator and getting started
please see http://www.gem5.org/Documentation and
http://www.gem5.org/Tutorials.

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/Dependencies 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/Build_System for more details and options.

With the simulator built, have a look at
http://www.gem5.org/Running_gem5 for more information on how to use
gem5.

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. Please see the gem5 download page for these items at
http://www.gem5.org/Download

If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org

Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
