Hi All, I have a question about using branches in the mainline gem5 repo. I see ARM have a separate repo here: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/admin/projects/arm/gem5. It is used for staging ARM features under development. At AMD we would like to do something similar, as we have some significant changes to the GPU model we would like to push out to the public. We were thinking about doing so with branches, and were wondering what others thought about branches? I'm sure it's been discussed somewhat in the past, but I can't find much searching through old posts.
What I was thinking would be to have institutional branches, like AMD or ARM branches, and perhaps users from those institutions who are also gem5 maintainers could have user specific branches. We use branches a lot internally and find them extremely useful. So I'd like to get a better idea why there is an aversion to using branches on the public tree, if there is such an aversion. -Tony _______________________________________________ gem5-dev mailing list [email protected] http://m5sim.org/mailman/listinfo/gem5-dev
