I'm even further behind than Andreas, but I'm curious about the situation
here. It's been a while, but last time I checked, compiling the x86
decoder with gcc took about 1GB of RAM (definitely <1.5GB). If something
has happened to the code and/or gcc that really makes it take much more
than that, I'm very interested in knowing.
In my experience, running in limited-memory situations because I'm
compiling in a VM on my laptop, something like 2-3GB of physical memory is
plenty if you're running scons with "-j 2" (or not using -j at all). If
you're running into problems with 4GB of RAM, make sure you're not using a
-j argument larger than 2, and that you don't have any other large
memory-consuming processes running.
Steve, are you talking about gem5.opt?
