Hello M5 Users, The M5 team would like to announce the availability of the 3rd beta for M5 2.0. This release is a major bugfix release over beta 2 and signifies a big step towards the final release. We know that there's more work needed to shake out all of the bugs hiding in corner cases and to increase the M5's accuracy. Everyone's help and patience is appreciated in this process. We're striving for a solid 2.0 release and users can help by giving us feedback, filing bug reports, and providing patches. Some highlights (check the RELEASE_NOTES for details): - Some support for SPARC full-system simulation - Reworking of trace facitities (parameter names changed) - Scons script cleanups - Some support for compiling with Intel CC Bug fixes since beta 2: - Many SPARC linux syscall emulation support fixes - Multiprocessor linux boot using the detailed O3 CPU module - Workaround for DMA bug (final solution to be released with 2.0f) - Simulator performance and memory leak fixes - Fixed issue where console could stop printing in ALPHA_FS - Fix issues with remote debugging - Several compile fixes, including gcc 4.1 - Many other minor fixes and enhancements You can get the beta on the download page: http://www.m5sim.org/wiki/index.php/Download Thanks! The M5 Team
