Hi all, Does this hint at the fact that maybe we don't need to have support for Alpha anymore? If we can't find documentation I feel like it's unlikely anyone is using this.
I hate to bring this us again, but dropping support for uncommon ISAs would provide a lot of benefits including: - Simplifying code - Removing untested and/or dead code And, most importantly, it would prevent people from doing inappropriate research. There were recently some questions on gem5-users or stack overflow asking for help getting an ancient Alpha disk image with Parsec on it running. There's no way it's appropriate to use a disk image, kernel image, and benchmarks compiled ~10 years ago for research today. <Ducks and covers>, Jason On Tue, Dec 17, 2019 at 9:21 AM Steve Reinhardt <[email protected]> wrote: > If I have anything it's on the hard drive of a machine that needs some work > before it will even boot, sorry... > > > On Mon, Dec 16, 2019 at 11:19 PM Gabe Black <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hey, does anybody have some documentation tucked away somewhere which > > documents the Alpha ABI?
