From the release notes the following are still outstanding for a 2.0 release. I don't really care about the Cygwin problems and I'm not sure that anyone else does, so I move to strike those. Additionally, we made the repository public so that one is gone.
I think the three things that need to be fixed are: O3 CPU -- SMT SE regression hits an assert; bug causing perlbmk to fail (Gabe reported this in April 2007 and I don't know if it's still a problem http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/221); NACKs/coherence messages Statistics -- The CPU statistics are confusing. I think the idle time in the simple CPU can still be wrong after a CPU switch and it's at least not clear to me which idles mean quiesced time or idle because of other things (blocked in the O3 case, not switched out in the simple case); The bus needs statistics; I don't know if the cache statistics are reasonable. Testing -- I've at least done a fair amount of testing over the last month or two, so I'm pretty happy with that. I think some validation needs to be done on an statistics changes though. Ali 1. Fix O3 CPU bug in SE 40.perlbmk fails 2. Fix O3 processing nacks/coherence messages 3. Better statistics for the caches. 4. FS mode doesn't work under Cygwin 5. memtest regression crashes under Cygwin 6. Make repository public 7. Testing 8.
