the GPUISA class is meant to encapsulate any ISA-specific behavior - special register accesses, isa-specific WF/kernel state, etc. - in a generic enough way so that it may be used in ISA-agnostic code. gpu-compute: use the GPUISA object to advance the PC the GPU model treats the PC as a pointer to individual instruction objects - which are store in a contiguous array - and not a byte address to be fetched from the real memory system. this is ok for HSAIL because all instructions are considered by the model to be the same size. in machine ISA, however, instructions may be 32b or 64b, and branches are calculated by advancing the PC by the number of words (4 byte chunks) it needs to advance in the real instruction stream. because of this there is a mismatch between the PC we use to index into the instruction array, and the actual byte address PC the ISA expects. here we move the PC advance calculation to the ISA so that differences in the instrucion sizes may be accounted for in generic way. |

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.
