Hi Gabriel,

I have finished a new version of BBench, version 3.0, you can get it here:
http://bbench.eecs.umich.edu

That site is still under heavy construction and I haven't officially
announced the release yet, so there isn't a ton of info; the new version is
written in html5 and is able to interact with the file system. I use html5
to read in a file so that I can list which sites I want to be part of the
benchmark. This makes it more dynamic and allows users to easily plug new
sites into the benchmark without having to modify the source. You could
look at something similar to see if it can accomplish what you need. There
are a few issues though:

1) Even if you write to a file, the disk image does not save the changes.
So, you'd need to either remove the CoW layer to make the disk image
writable, or you'd need to find a way to make the benchmark write to the
host FS.

2) I don't know how well the html5 file stuff will work on the Android
browser, and gem5 in general (which is why I haven't ported BBench 3.0 to
gem5 yet). I hope to start working towards porting it soon. I've tested it
on all major desktop browsers and it seems to work ok (with the exception
of IE, which has always had problems running BBench because of security
issues with offline scripts); however, it only seems to work on Firefox on
the Android devices I've tested it with.

Thanks,
Tony
