Hi Gabe,
Thanks for your reply. For the vector register file, I agree it is probably
a better idea to stick with current approach, at least it does not require
changing the SSE instructions. I cound not find your plan to redesign the
register handling mechanism. If you could provide a link I would
Hi Jasmin. There is some documentation, although it's not as complete as it
could be. I think you can find most of it on the gem5 website. ISA
generation is one of the more complex areas of gem5 (part of what I'm
hoping to improve), and is probably particularly hard to learn and
understand just fro
Yeah, the way the decoder itself is generated also needs to be revamped for
exactly the reason you're describing, although I don't want to bite off too
much at a time. I'm definitely aware of that issue though, and hope to get
to it at some point.

Hi Sean. I'm not aware of anyone working on AVX-512, but it would be nice
if the AMD folks could chime in and confirm that. The x86 microcode was
originally based off of the microcode for the K6 as described in a patent.
The floating point parts of that patent were very vague and hand wavy, so I

The last time I checked the develop branch, gem5 has not yet supported the
AVX512. And searching the mail list I do not see any plan for that. Is
there any ongoing development to support that? If not, I am happy to

Hello,
is there some sort of documentation of the architecture of the whole
project?
If no, I would be happy to help with this (is my research topic and have
experience with industry projects).
Best regards,

Gabe, I just want to say, I would be REALLY happy if those monolithic files
were split up somehow, to improve rebuild times and not crash my
debuggers/IDEs, if someone manages that it would be amazing.
I was also thinking about the scons approach you mentioned, where we can
generate one .cc/.hh
