MacSim v2.0.0
There are several major changes made since last release. (The svn repository already has the latest version.)
- MacSim's Trace Format has been changed along with the trace configuration file format. For verification purposes, a few sample traces conforming to the new trace file format are included in this release. For your convenience, more x86 sample traces from spec2006 will also be provided.
- To make sure your installation is complete (./build.py), please go check using $MACSIM_ROOT/bin/macsim binary. It searches for newly built executable and runs traces listed in trace_file_list to completion.
- Please download sample traces provided in googlecode page and extract them under $MACSIM_ROOT/trace/ directory. You may need to modify trace_file_list to run more traces other than the included ones.
- MacSim is now compatible with Mac OS X.
- We resolved a few compilation issues that arises with Mac environment.
- Please note that only g++-4.7 is fully tested and other versions of compilers are not yet fully supported.
- Added SST-3.0.0 compatibility
- There have been a lot of changes made to SST framework (The Structural Simulation Toolkit developed by Sandia National Laboratory) since its last release. We have made a transition from an older version of SST APIs to a newer version to make it compatible with SST-3.0.0.
