MARSSx86Micro-ARchitectural and System Simulator

for x86-based Systemshttp://marss86.org/~marss86/index.php/Home


Full System Simulator

MARSSx86 is a tool for cycle accurate full system simulation of the x86-64 architecture, specifically multicore implementations.

Emulator vs SimulatorEmulation refers to the ability of a computer program in an electronic

device to emulate (imitate) another program or device.A computer simulation (or "sim") is an attempt to model a real-life or

hypothetical situation on a computer so that it can be studied to see how the system works. By changing variables in the simulation, predictions may be made about the behaviour of the system.

Example:QEMU (Emulation) does not maintain ‘clock’ MARSSx86 Simulation engine keeps track of number of executed

cycles

QEMUQEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer that allows

you to run a complete operating system as just another task on your desktop. It can be very useful for trying out different operating systems, testing software, and running applications that won't run on your desktop's native platform.

Install of Marss_x86 on CentOSDownloading, compiling, running and simulating SPEC CPU 2006 on CentOS

release 6.5 with out been Root. (Part 1)

All the files are installed in the following foldercd /home/students/cs/SPEC2006/simulators/

Download Scons and an untar it in a clean folder:cd /home/students/cs/SPEC2006/simulators/imageswget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scons/scons‐2.3.4.tar.gztar ‐xvf scons‐2.3.4.tar.gz

Download Marss x86 using git clone from:cd /home/students/cs/SPEC2006/simulators/marss_x86git clone git://github.com/avadhpatel/marss.git

Compile using (use c=n where n the number of cores):cd /home/students/cs/SPEC2006/simulators/marss_x86../scons/bin/scons ‐Q config=config/default.conf

To Run the Qemu with simulation, telnet and network capabilities:qemu/qemu‐system‐x86_64 ‐curses ‐monitor

telnet:127.0.0.1:1234,server,nowait ‐m 2048 ‐hda ../images/ubuntu‐natty‐SPEC2006‐STD.qcow2 ‐net nic,model=ne2k_pci ‐net user ‐simconfig simconfig

On a new console telnet the QEMU's monitor console withtelnet 127.0.0.1 1234

One in the Guest(Emulated) OS you will have to fix the apt-get in order to install new software like gcc and wget

Username: rootPassword: root

vi /ect/apt/sources/list and replace the natty with trustyto install the gcc compiler which is needed to compile the SPECs.apt‐get install gcc
