Re: [Gems-users] OS and Protocols

[Greg Byrd <gbyrd@xxxxxxxx>]

These are orthogonal issues.

Sarek is a Simics configuration, which does not have any coherence 
associated with it.  Using Ruby, you can attach a memory model to the 
sarek machine model, and that memory model can use any of the supported 
Ruby protocols.
Similarly, Ruby cares nothing about the simulated OS.  It simply gets 
memory requests from a processor and satisfies them.  You can run any OS 
you want on top of the Simics Sparc processor model (or the x86 model if 
you install those Ruby patches).
