MacSim v2.3.0

• Add support for ARM64 simulation
• Add support for HMC simulation

MacSim v2.2.0

Update documentation and add instructions for RHEL.

MacSim v2.1.1

Trace format has been updated.

MacSim v2.1.0

1. Added support for Mac OS X
2. SST-MacSim: Enable each core of MacSim instance to have its private instruction and data cache (memHierarchy).
3. SST-MacSim: Enable receiving a trigger event from another SST component which will cause MacSim to begin execution, and returning an event to another SST component upon completion.
4. Bug fixes

MacSim v2.0.3

Updated compatibility with SST 4.0.0 (rev. 8077)

Added reference results (and corresponding configuration) to compare against for SST nightly tests

MacSim v2.0.2

Updated compatibility with SST 3.1.2 (rev. 7085)

1. MacSim is primarily a core component in SST (The Structural Simulation Toolkit - https://sst-simulator.org/).
2. Tested out with MemHierarchy component as I$ and D$.
3. In conjuction with MemHierarchy, MacSim can be configured with DRAMSim2 or VaultSim.

Note - Use "USE_MEMHIERARCHY' knob to use MemHierarchy cache. With it turned off, MacSim doesn't interact with other component at all. It works as if MacSim-standalone, but on top of SST framework.

MacSim v2.0.1

Fixes to GTX580 parameter file

MacSim v2.0.0

There are several major changes made since last release. (The svn repository already has the latest version.)

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

MacSim v1.2.0

Decouple trace decoder

MacSim v1.1.0

Note: We've made transition from our googlecode repository and this version is up here only for the convenience. There is no modification at all from the previously released one.
