Dear all, Just curious --- Is anyone going to ICS or coming around New York around June 10 or 11th? If so, we can meet and talk :) I know it's been a long struggle --- we have made a couple attempts in the past to get the patches into M5's source tree, but we didn't make much progress and I think the main reason is we need time to communicate and digest the patches before they can be integrated.
I fully respect the work of Gems and Ruby and it would be great to combine them with M5. In the meantime, I think the patches offer good alternatives and can become a integral tool for the M5 user community. They are designed, programmed and used in an M5 style and philosophy, and they have been tested by various users and now support full-system simulation with Parsec (Lots of thanks to Rick!). I am open to sit down for a week or two focusing on the integration, and I think two weeks would be sufficient for coding and initial testings. To re-kick off the ball and move on, I can make slides to show the structure/design of the patches, send them to you for feedback, and then we can arrange some time to discuss more details. Would you be interested to resume the process?
