Chandra,

 

Currently GEMS only supports target machines with SPARC processors.  We believe that porting Ruby to the x86 target would be easy.  However porting Opal to x86 would likely require a rewrite.

Hi:
I'm trying to get GEMS running with a particular processor configuration I require. I have SIMICS conf file that has the following objects:
1. 3 x86 processors
2. A common cache
3. memory space
4. port-space

I started SIMICS, did a read-configuration and "load-module ruby" which resulted in the error message:
error installing ruby timing model.
Simics license checked in!

What other components do I have to add to the configuration so that Ruby can work? Or am I making someother mistake?
Thank you very much!

P.S: I'm a GEMS/SIMICS newbie. So please bear with me if this question is trivial.
