If so, where is the rest of the system?
Just like fs.py which creates a full system, sw.py creates and simulate an Ethenet switch-box. It means that the whole gem5 process just simulates an Ethernet switch, nothing else. It seems inefficience but the purpose of this script is just to provide an example of how to create/simulate a switch box in dist-gem5. A more efficient way is to simulate the switch alongside a full-system. For now this is the only script specifically for dist-gem5. I'm not sure if we need the dist/ subdir now. - Mohammad ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
