Add a helper function to scan out an entire frame in one time step. This requires the public PixelPump to be changed somewhat to separate timing updates from general PixelPump control. Instead of calling PixelPump::start(timings), timings now need to be updated using a separate call to PixelPump::updateTimings(timings) before calling PixelPump::start(). Display controllers that don't need accurate timing (e.g., in KVM mode), can use the new PixelPump::renderFrame() API to render an entire frame in one step. This call results in the same callbacks (e.g., calls to nextPixel()) as the timing calls, but they all happen in immediately. Unlike the timing counterpart, renderFrame() doesn't support buffer underruns and will panic if nextPixle() indicates an underrun.

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.
