Hello Andreas, You talked about it some time ago. I have tried it, but the documentation still quite scarce, I think. The aim of this tool was mainly academic, since I had to create a compiler for a course, then I decide it to share it with you. I also think the more compatible gem5 is with other frameworks or in this case power models, the better. Nevertheless, I am aware of the results McPAT can give, but as a first approach I think it can be enough in some cases.

For anyone wanting reliable and accurate power models I can greatly recommend: http://www.powmon.ecs.soton.ac.uk/powermodeling/ The generated models work very well with recent versions of gem5, as it now supports power states, and hooks for these equation-based power models.
