Re: [gem5-users] Has anyone ever produced an Spectre or Meltdown proof of concept running on gem5 or would that be feasible?

Hi Ciro,

I finally got around to writing that blog post. It's not quite geared to be
general enough for hacker news, but hopefully the gem5 community finds it
interesting.

Cheers,
Jason

Awesome...

If I were you, I'd do that blog post quick now that the hype is large,
if well presented it could really hit Hacker News :-)

Hi Ciro,

Yeah. In fact, I think I've pointed to this before on the mailing list. See
https://github.com/jlpresearch/gem5/tree/spectre-test for all of the
necessary code and configs. There's also a brief explanation of how it
works in spectre.rst. The visualization with the pipeline viewer (or Konata
https://github.com/shioyadan/Konata) is pretty cool. I am planning on
writing up a blog post on this, but I need to find the time.

Cheers,
Jason
