Hi Ali, Sorry for the delayed response to this. I took a look at the ISCA-33 slides and am basing my comments mostly on those. Basically, I think what you present should depend on the audience, and you are in the best position to know this. If the audience is mostly people who are currently usi

Time is why I suggested building up the complete example through examples for each concept as you cover the rest of the content. The "putting it all together" section could be covered fast in the tutorial but would be a nice summary to go back and read. On Feb 12, 2008 11:12 AM, Alexandra (Sasha)

Thanks for the comments Vilias and Philip. I have a few more questions. Looking at the previous tutorial slides, it doesn't seem like there is much history (just a couple of slides), am I missing something? By overview I'm assuming that you mean the majority of the presentation (and not jus

I'm not sure what 'typical' usage of M5 looks like, but I for one spend a lot of time understanding the existing code (both C++ and Python) in order to modify / extend it -- as opposed to either using it as is or writing entirely new code. I think more emphasis in a tutorial on how to use M5 in th

I took a quick look at the ISCA 2006 tutorial and it reads well as an overview of a manual but a complete example including a good fraction (obvious not all) of the features at the end would be a useful addition to put it all together. A possible approach: use pieces of this complete example to in
