Dear Colleagues, I would like to ask you few questions related to M5 use:
1. Does M5 simulator support Thread Level Speculation so the sequential application can be run on it by simulating speculative Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) architecture? 2. If M5 includes support for Thread Level Speculation could you tell me which part of source code is related to this feature? Thank you very much for your help and your time.
