Hey James, What sort of things are you trying to run on X86? gem5 resources provides some benchmarking applications: https://resources.gem5.org (this website is a bit of a work-in-progress which we hope to revamp as part of the next release, but you can view the raw sources here: https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5-resources/+/refs/heads/stable). For example, if you want to run some PARSEC benchmark application in gem5, look here: https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5-resources/+/refs/heads/stable/src/parsec/. We provide a parsec disk image, prebuilt, here: http://dist.gem5.org/dist/v21-1/images/x86/ubuntu-18-04/parsec.img.gz.
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to setup and run X86 simulations, checkout our new gem5 standard library work. Right now it's still on gem5's develop branch but will be part of gem5 v21.2 (to be released at some point over the next couple of days). If you want to have a look at this, get the develop branch: ``` git clone -b develop https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5 cd gem5 ``` then look in the `configs/example/gem5_library` directory to see scripts which use the standard library to build simulations and obtain resources (such as disk images and sources). Feel free to play around with this. As a very simple example, try: ``` scons build/X85/gem5.opt -j`nproc` ./build/X86/gem5.opt configs/example/gem5_library/x85-ubuntu-run.py ``` This will boot a 18.04 Ubuntu OS to login then exit the simulation. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reachout out and ask. Kind regards, Bobby -- Dr. Bobby R.
