### STEP 1: Download the VMPlayer image, unzip it and start it # (Mac users you need VMWare Fusion - ignore the errors about CPU functionality) wget http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~acr31/sicsa/m5/grid-appliance-m5mcpat.zip ### STEP 2: execute m5 with the matrix1 program (this takes about 30 seconds on my workstation) m5/build/ALPHA_SE/m5.opt m5/configs/example/se.py -d -c matrix/matrix1.out --caches --l2cache --l2_size=8kB --l1d_size=4kB ### STEP 3: convert the m5 output in to an XML file for mcpat to use perl m5-mcpat.pl m5out/stats.txt m5out/config.ini mcpat-template.xml > matrix1-results.xml ### STEP 4: run the mcpat wrapper to run mcpat (this takes about 30 seconds) cd mcpat0.8_r274 perl ../mcpat-exec.pl ../matrix1-results.xml
