Appreciate the reply, Jason! That helps a lot! A follow-up question (for anyone who has input): I'm currently developing my Master's thesis, and it will likely involve some ISA extension of x86 and possibly other architectures. I will be tackling a specific research question, likely involving the modified caches I discussed in my first post. However, in the interest of making the fruits of my thesis useful to a broader range of people, I am wondering if there are any ISA-extension-specific gem5 documentation/features/frameworks I could contribute to during the course of my thesis. gem5 has helped me a lot, and I'd be honored to contribute back to it! Realistically, one thing I'd like to create (if it doesn't already exist) is a thorough introduction to ISA extension in x86, given that I'm about to spend a lot of time figuring it out myself!
Looking forward to anyone's input on this. Thanks all, Gus Smith -- *Gus Smith* Penn State University M.S./B.S. Computer Science and Engineering '18 Microsystems Design Lab - Researcher (570)817-9340 <(570)%20817-9340> | hfs5...@psu.edu
