I support ideas (2) and (3) by Andreas. For (1), as long as MIPS/SPARC are working for the SimpleCPUs then whoever wants to take up MIPS/SPARC for the new InOrderCPU can do so.
It may also make sense to simply rename the current InOrder code to something more innocuous rather than completely deprecate it if people are worried about a transition. -Korey On Thu, Jan 15, 2015 at 10:37 AM, Marc Orr via gem5-dev <gem5-dev@gem5.org> wrote: > I've been going through some of the activity on gem5-dev in reverse (as you > may have noticed :-)).
