This is release m5_1.0_beta1 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
|
|
(currently ply and libelf)
|
|
|
|
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(3.X)
|
|
-Python(2.2.2+)
|
|
|
|
WHAT'S RECOMMENDED
|
|
------------------
|
|
-MySQL (for statistics complex statistics storage/retrieval)
|
|
-Python-MysqlDB (for statistics analysis)
|
|
|
|
GETTING STARTED
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
There are three different build targets and three optimizations in each level:
|
|
Target:
|
|
-------
|
|
ALPHA - Syscall emulation simulation
|
|
KERNEL - Linux full system simulation
|
|
KERNEL_TLASER - Tru64 Unix 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
|
|
|
|
cd $top/m5/build
|
|
scons TARGET/OPTLEVL # e.g. KERNEL/m5.opt, use -j N if you have a MP system
|
|
cd $top/m5-test
|
|
./do-tests.pl -B ALPHA # test what you just built
|
|
./do-tests.pl -B KERNEL # test what you just built
|
|
# wait for tests to run...
|
|
# should end with "finished do-tests successfully!"
