Splits the CommMonitor trace_file parameter into three parameters. Previously, the trace was only enabled if the trace_file parameter was set, and would be written to this file. This patch adds in a trace_enable and trace_compress parameter to the CommMonitor. No trace is generated if trace_enable is set to False. If it is set to True, the trace is written to a file based on the name of the SimObject in the simulation hierarchy. For example, system.cluster.il1_commmonitor.trc. This filename can be overridden by additionally specifying a file name to the trace_file parameter (more on this later). The trace_compress parameter will append .gz to any filename if set to True. This enables compression of the generated traces. If the file name already ends in .gz, then no changes are made. The trace_file parameter will override the name set by the trace_enable parameter. In the case that the specified name does not end in .gz but trace_compress is set to true, .gz is appended to the supplied file name. |

This is the gem5 simulator.

Short version:
External tools and required versions
To build gem5, you will need the following software:
g++ version 4.3 or newer.
Python, version 2.4 - 2.7 (we don't support Python 3.X). gem5 links in the
Python interpreter, so you need the Python header files and shared
library (e.g., /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so) in addition to the interpreter
executable. These may or may not be installed by default. For example,
on Debian/Ubuntu, you need the "python-dev" package in addition to the
"python" package. If you need a newer or different Python installation
but can't or don't want to upgrade the default Python on your system,
see http://www.gem5.org/Using_a_non-default_Python_installation
SCons, version 0.98.1 or newer. SCons is a powerful replacement for make.
If you don't have administrator privileges on your machine, you can use the
"scons-local" package to install scons in your m5 directory, or install SCons
in your home directory using the '--prefix=' option.
SWIG, version 1.3.34 or newer
zlib, any recent version. For Debian/Ubuntu, you will need the "zlib-dev" or
"zlib1g-dev" package to get the zlib.h header file as well as the library
itself.
m4, the macro processor.
4. In this directory, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one
of ALPHA, ARM, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version
of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture.

WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT)
-------------------------
The basic source release includes these subdirectories:
- gem5:
- 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.
