*More Than Two Words: InOrder is booting Linux!!! Getting to this point took about >30 patches, so I have a lot of patch-cleaning work to do before I can place it in the repo. Also, just because it boots doesn't mean I've tested it with any kind of real workload suite (e.g. SPEC or Parsec). I don't have the bandwidth to complete stress test through all the benchmarks and test but if someone tries and something goes wrong, please post to the mailing list and I'll do my best to help you debug. Either way, I think this is a good milestone and I'll be adding the patches and the regression test for ALPHA_FS/10.linux_boot/InOrder-CPU within the next week (or two) and then eventually updating more things in our handy-dandy M5 status matrix: http://m5sim.org/wiki/index.php/Status_Matrix The next big thing I want to get in InOrder before the "gem5" official merge is complete is timing TLB translation and in the longer term microcode support. I can't say exactly when those will be added (again, not enough time for me to completely focus on this), but if anyone wants to try I have a good idea of what needs to be done and can assist. -- - Korey _______________________________________________ m5-dev mailing list m5-dev@m5sim.org http://m5sim.org/mailman/listinfo/m5-dev
