Question about running the hpca-2023 tutorial
Jason,
I am very impressed. I looked over the syllabus of your advanced computer architecture class. Was that a graduate level class? I generated a course design matrix on my new graduate advanced computer architecture class, and it paralleled your ECS 201C class. I have modules that cover GPU and embedded AI processing in addition to the modules that are drawn from Paterson and Hennessy’s Computer Architecture text. I also have a module on Fault Tolerance since it has dual impact on architecture design, and has applications in the area of quantum computing. I had initially thought of having a quantum computing module, but I am holding that one back incase I have too much material for the semester.
I saw your reference paper on quantum computing, is that the only quantum computing reference for your class?
Thank you for making the assignments available,
Nick

Hi Nick,
For teaching you may be able to get some inspiration from my class assignments. Specifically, assignment 5 is about coherence: https://jlpteaching.github.io/comparch/modules/gem5/assignment5/
All of the code for my assignments can be found here under different branches for each assignment: https://github.com/jlpteaching/gem5-assignment-template
Cheers,
Jason

Hey Nick,
The GUI work was basically just a prototype. We had ambitions to properly incorporate it into the project but we lacked the resources to do so. It should really be archived until someone wants to revive it. So I’m not surprised it doesn’t work. We don’t recommend using it.
The RELEASE-NOTES.md file, in the root of the gem5 repository (https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5/+/refs/heads/stable/RELEASE-NOTES.md) should highlight all the major changes introduced in gem5 released. API changes should be noted there.
A VM should work fine, but if you want to try something more light-weight, you could use Docker. The Docker image for the container we ran the Bootcamp in, via Codespaces, is gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latesthttp://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest. So all you need to do is:
docker pull gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest<http://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest>
docker run -u $UID:$GID —volume <gem5 directory>:/gem5 —rm -it gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest<http://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest>
# from here you’re in the docker container and the gem5 repo is mounted to “/gem5”
(The sources for this docker image is in the Bootcamp repo, here: https://github.com/gem5bootcamp/gem5-bootcamp-env/tree/main/docker).
Kind regards,
Bobby

Bobby,
Thank you for your reply. I am making my way through the Bootcamp 2022 videos and slides. So far everything seems to be working. I had already planned to use visual studio code as a student interface for GPU programming with the Jetson Orin Nano systems, so I will try to use that with the gem5 programming exercises. I have gem5 running on a VM system for my initial checkout, and we try to port it to the Jetson for the class.
Is there a change document that describes the API changes? I will take a look at the Obtain resources to make sure my examples are current. I don’t recall seeing anything odd yet.
I will have a challenge getting a week of viewgraphs down to two lectures, but my plan is to have a basic tutorial, a lecture on concurrency and coherence. and three discussion forums that will allow the student experiment and generate studies. This is an on line class, and I am integrating gem5 into a basic outline that follows Patterson and Hennessy’s book on Computer Architecture (A quantitative approach).
I think the only part of Gem5 that I could not get working was the GUI work. I don’t think it has been updated.

Sorry for a very late reply, but for the sake of clarification:
Yes, I believe you should have cloned the bootcamp 2022 recurisively. I think both the issues highlighted in this thread were due to running a newer version of gem5 on top of older config scripts and resources which used the older API.
There wasn’t much that went wrong when we used the 2022 Bootcamp repo with a class of 50 last year. There may be bugs but I don’t think anything should be glaringly broken. I think we did the gem5 Bootcamp with v22.0 of gem5, and v22.1 was released in December of last year, so be careful. There were quite a few API chances between these released. The “Obtain_resources” change was definitely one.
I’m sorry for all the trouble your having with it. If you run into any additional problems please reach out to me directly.

Hi everyone,
The examples from the tutorial repo (https://github.com/gem5-hpca-2023/gem5-tutorial-codespace) seem to work for me with the gem5/gem5-resources versions checked out in that repo. I basically cloned the entire repo using the --recursive flag. If you are using a different version of gem5, my guess is that your scripts might need to be updated because of changes in the standard library.

Thiago,
I have had better luck working through the gem5 bootcamp 2022. I have run into some odd issues that I would love to compare notes with someone who knows the gem5 system. Some of the errors have to do with the directory organization of the gem5-bootcamp-env code from the github. I am running into python errors that suggest that the code is not able to find the python files. As an example when I run:
build/X86/gem5.opt /home/besernd1/gem5-bootcamp-env/materials/using-gem5/02-stdlib/complete/hello-world-with-unique-cache.py
I had to make some changes in the unique_cache_hierarchy_complete.py file because the python code could not see liCache.py. When I tried to run the hello-world example, it still does not see the python file. I also have to explicitly define the path to the customResource file, because it does not understand the abbreviated directory path provided.
I also ran into a problem with some of the earlier examples. I had to add a line in front of the m5.instantiate():
board._pre_instantiate()
m5.instantiate()
This was not necessary in later examples fro 02-stdlib.
Part of the problem has to do with the tutorial and bootcamp using the codespaces. I think we need clear instructions on how to do those examples with the basic gem5 installation.

Hello, same problem here.
I am using the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and the latest gem5 stable version. I followed the HPCA(23) video tutorial and even used the available git codespace.
I removed the "resource" related code lines and used a variable -> binary = "path_to_the_benchmark" <- to set the benchmark, and another error occurred: "Attribute_Error: 'str' object has no attribute 'get_local_path' in the" -> '(86) set_se_binary_workload.py' -< file
After that I used the get_started scripts (part 1) and the benchmark worked just fine.
The new Python API is very friendly but I could not use it.

Hi Nick,
I think you have a typo. It's gcr.io as in "google container registry."
I believe you have an "e" instead of a "c" in your URL.

Hey Nick,
The GUI work was basically just a prototype. We had ambitions to properly
incorporate it into the project but we lacked the resources to do so. It
should really be archived until someone wants to revive it. So I’m not
surprised it doesn’t work. We don’t recommend using it.
The RELEASE-NOTES.md file, in the root of the gem5 repository (
https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5/+/refs/heads/stable/RELEASE-NOTES.md)
should highlight all the major changes introduced in gem5 released. API
changes should be noted there.
A VM should work fine, but if you want to try something more light-weight,
you could use Docker. The Docker image for the container we ran the
Bootcamp in, via Codespaces, is gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest.
So all you need to do is:
docker pull gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest
docker run -u $UID:$GID —volume <gem5 directory>:/gem5 —rm -it
gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest

Bobby,
Thank you for your reply. I am making my way through the Bootcamp 2022
videos and slides. So far everything seems to be working. I had already
planned to use visual studio code as a student interface for GPU
programming with the Jetson Orin Nano systems, so I will try to use that
with the gem5 programming exercises. I have gem5 running on a VM system for
my initial checkout, and we try to port it to the Jetson for the class.
Is there a change document that describes the API changes? I will take a
look at the Obtain resources to make sure my examples are current. I don’t
recall seeing anything odd yet.
I will have a challenge getting a week of viewgraphs down to two lectures,
but my plan is to have a basic tutorial, a lecture on concurrency and
coherence. and three discussion forums that will allow the student
experiment and generate studies. This is an on line class, and I am
integrating gem5 into a basic outline that follows Patterson and Hennessy’s
book on Computer Architecture (A quantitative approach).
I think the only part of Gem5 that I could not get working was the GUI
work. I don’t think it has been updated.

Sorry for a very late reply, but for the sake of clarification:
Yes, I believe you should have cloned the bootcamp 2022 recurisively. I
think both the issues highlighted in this thread were due to running a
newer version of gem5 on top of older config scripts and resources which
used the older API.
There wasn’t much that went wrong when we used the 2022 Bootcamp repo with
a class of 50 last year. There may be bugs but I don’t think anything
should be glaringly broken. I think we did the gem5 Bootcamp with v22.0 of
gem5, and v22.1 was released in December of last year, so be careful. There
were quite a few API chances between these released. The “Obtain_resources”
change was definitely one.
I’m sorry for all the trouble your having with it. If you run into any
additional problems please reach out to me directly.

Hi everyone,
The examples from the tutorial repo (
https://github.com/gem5-hpca-2023/gem5-tutorial-codespace) seem to work
for me with the gem5/gem5-resources versions checked out in that repo. I
basically cloned the entire repo using the --recursive flag. If you are
using a different version of gem5, my guess is that your scripts might need
to be updated because of changes in the standard library.

Thiago,
I have had better luck working through the gem5 bootcamp 2022. I have run
into some odd issues that I would love to compare notes with someone who
knows the gem5 system. Some of the errors have to do with the directory
organization of the gem5-bootcamp-env code from the github. I am running
into python errors that suggest that the code is not able to find the
python files. As an example when I run:
build/X86/gem5.opt
/home/besernd1/gem5-bootcamp-env/materials/using-gem5/02-stdlib/complete/hello-world-with-unique-cache.py
I had to make some changes in the unique_cache_hierarchy_complete.py file
because the python code could not see liCache.py. When I tried to run the
hello-world example, it still does not see the python file. I also have to
explicitly define the path to the customResource file, because it does not
understand the abbreviated directory path provided.
I also ran into a problem with some of the earlier examples. I had to add
a line in front of the m5.instantiate():
board._pre_instantiate()
m5.instantiate()
This was not necessary in later examples fro 02-stdlib.
Part of the problem has to do with the tutorial and bootcamp using the
codespaces. I think we need clear instructions on how to do those examples
with the basic gem5 installation.

Hello, same problem here.
I am using the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and the latest gem5 stable version. I
followed the HPCA(23) video tutorial and even used the available git
codespace.
I removed the "resource" related code lines and used a variable
-> binary = "path_to_the_benchmark" <- to set the benchmark, and another
error occurred: "Attribute_Error: 'str' object has no attribute
'get_local_path' in the" -> '(86) set_se_binary_workload.py' -< file
After that I used the get_started scripts (part 1) and the benchmark
worked just fine.
The new Python API is very friendly but I could not use it.

Your correct, that was a typo. The clipboard copy was disabled on the VM system. I was able to load the gem5 via docker, but it is not clear where the code was loaded to. It did not create a directory gem5-bootcamp-env. As far as I can tell it is not in my home directory. Is there a default directory where the code will be loaded to?

Hi Nick,
I think you have a typo. It's gcr.io<http://gcr.io> as in "google container registry." I believe you have an "e" instead of a "c" in your URL.

Hey Nick,
The GUI work was basically just a prototype. We had ambitions to properly incorporate it into the project but we lacked the resources to do so. It should really be archived until someone wants to revive it. So I’m not surprised it doesn’t work. We don’t recommend using it.
The RELEASE-NOTES.md file, in the root of the gem5 repository (https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5/+/refs/heads/stable/RELEASE-NOTES.md) should highlight all the major changes introduced in gem5 released. API changes should be noted there.
A VM should work fine, but if you want to try something more light-weight, you could use Docker. The Docker image for the container we ran the Bootcamp in, via Codespaces, is gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latesthttp://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest. So all you need to do is:
docker pull gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest<http://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest>
docker run -u $UID:$GID —volume <gem5 directory>:/gem5 —rm -it gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest<http://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest>
# from here you’re in the docker container and the gem5 repo is mounted to “/gem5”

I think I figured out what was going with Docker. I was confused on one of the instructions. I pulled the gem5 code in, using git (with the recursive flag set). This was done on a new VM system (A ubuntu 22.04 version). I then moved to the docker directory under gem5-bootcamp-env. After I typed make, I eventually got an error because the system tried to find a Ubuntu 20.04 file. Does this system require Ubuntu 20.04? The Docker system is 22.04.
The docker command that I ran seems to only provide a gem5 directory and not a gem5-bootcamp-env directory. Is that a different command that I need to issue:
$ docker run -u $UID:$GID --volume /home/besernd1/gem5-bootcamp-env --rm -it gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest

Your correct, that was a typo. The clipboard copy was disabled on the VM system. I was able to load the gem5 via docker, but it is not clear where the code was loaded to. It did not create a directory gem5-bootcamp-env. As far as I can tell it is not in my home directory. Is there a default directory where the code will be loaded to?

Hi Nick,
I think you have a typo. It's gcr.io<http://gcr.io> as in "google container registry." I believe you have an "e" instead of a "c" in your URL.

Hey Nick,
The GUI work was basically just a prototype. We had ambitions to properly incorporate it into the project but we lacked the resources to do so. It should really be archived until someone wants to revive it. So I’m not surprised it doesn’t work. We don’t recommend using it.
The RELEASE-NOTES.md file, in the root of the gem5 repository (https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5/+/refs/heads/stable/RELEASE-NOTES.md) should highlight all the major changes introduced in gem5 released. API changes should be noted there.
A VM should work fine, but if you want to try something more light-weight, you could use Docker. The Docker image for the container we ran the Bootcamp in, via Codespaces, is gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latesthttp://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest. So all you need to do is:
docker pull gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest<http://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest>
docker run -u $UID:$GID —volume <gem5 directory>:/gem5 —rm -it gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest<http://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest>
# from here you’re in the docker container and the gem5 repo is mounted to “/gem5”
(The sources for this docker image is in the Bootcamp repo, here: https://github.com/gem5bootcamp/gem5-bootcamp-env/tree/main/docker).

Sorry for a very late reply, but for the sake of clarification:
Yes, I believe you should have cloned the bootcamp 2022 recurisively. I think both the issues highlighted in this thread were due to running a newer version of gem5 on top of older config scripts and resources which used the older API.
There wasn’t much that went wrong when we used the 2022 Bootcamp repo with a class of 50 last year. There may be bugs but I don’t think anything should be glaringly broken. I think we did the gem5 Bootcamp with v22.0 of gem5, and v22.1 was released in December of last year, so be careful. There were quite a few API chances between these released. The “Obtain_resources” change was definitely one.
I’m sorry for all the trouble your having with it. If you run into any additional problems please reach out to me directly.

Hi everyone,
The examples from the tutorial repo (https://github.com/gem5-hpca-2023/gem5-tutorial-codespace) seem to work for me with the gem5/gem5-resources versions checked out in that repo. I basically cloned the entire repo using the --recursive flag. If you are using a different version of gem5, my guess is that your scripts might need to be updated because of changes in the standard library.

Thiago,
I have had better luck working through the gem5 bootcamp 2022. I have run into some odd issues that I would love to compare notes with someone who knows the gem5 system. Some of the errors have to do with the directory organization of the gem5-bootcamp-env code from the github. I am running into python errors that suggest that the code is not able to find the python files. As an example when I run:
build/X86/gem5.opt /home/besernd1/gem5-bootcamp-env/materials/using-gem5/02-stdlib/complete/hello-world-with-unique-cache.py
I had to make some changes in the unique_cache_hierarchy_complete.py file because the python code could not see liCache.py. When I tried to run the hello-world example, it still does not see the python file. I also have to explicitly define the path to the customResource file, because it does not understand the abbreviated directory path provided.
I also ran into a problem with some of the earlier examples. I had to add a line in front of the m5.instantiate():
board._pre_instantiate()
m5.instantiate()
This was not necessary in later examples fro 02-stdlib.
Part of the problem has to do with the tutorial and bootcamp using the codespaces. I think we need clear instructions on how to do those examples with the basic gem5 installation.

Hello, same problem here.
I am using the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and the latest gem5 stable version. I followed the HPCA(23) video tutorial and even used the available git codespace.
I removed the "resource" related code lines and used a variable -> binary = "path_to_the_benchmark" <- to set the benchmark, and another error occurred: "Attribute_Error: 'str' object has no attribute 'get_local_path' in the" -> '(86) set_se_binary_workload.py' -< file
After that I used the get_started scripts (part 1) and the benchmark worked just fine.
The new Python API is very friendly but I could not use it.

I was reviewing the tutorial with the hope that I could setup something similar for a class that I am teaching at Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering.

I have been trying to do the docker setup of gem5 and discovered that the first line of Dockerfile-builder had an error. By removing the :stable command, I was able to get the build to work:
#FROM gcr.io/gem5-test/ubuntu-20.04_all-dependencies:stable
FROM gcr.io/gem5-test/ubuntu-20.04_all-dependencies
This is running on a VM system (X86, Ubuntu 22.04).

I think I figured out what was going with Docker. I was confused on one of the instructions. I pulled the gem5 code in, using git (with the recursive flag set). This was done on a new VM system (A ubuntu 22.04 version). I then moved to the docker directory under gem5-bootcamp-env. After I typed make, I eventually got an error because the system tried to find a Ubuntu 20.04 file. Does this system require Ubuntu 20.04? The Docker system is 22.04.
The docker command that I ran seems to only provide a gem5 directory and not a gem5-bootcamp-env directory. Is that a different command that I need to issue:
$ docker run -u $UID:$GID --volume /home/besernd1/gem5-bootcamp-env --rm -it gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest

I’m sorry for all the trouble your having with it. If you run into any additional problems please reach out to me directly.

I installed gem5 prior to downloading the gem5-tutorial-codespace. Is the correct procedure git clone –recursive https://github.com/gem5-hpca-2023/gem5-tutorial-codespace? Should I have done that with the bootcamp 2022?
I use git to manage my class archive, but I normally keep it very simple.

Hi everyone,
The examples from the tutorial repo (https://github.com/gem5-hpca-2023/gem5-tutorial-codespace) seem to work for me with the gem5/gem5-resources versions checked out in that repo. I basically cloned the entire repo using the --recursive flag. If you are using a different version of gem5, my guess is that your scripts might need to be updated because of changes in the standard library.

Thiago,
I have had better luck working through the gem5 bootcamp 2022. I have run into some odd issues that I would love to compare notes with someone who knows the gem5 system. Some of the errors have to do with the directory organization of the gem5-bootcamp-env code from the github. I am running into python errors that suggest that the code is not able to find the python files. As an example when I run:
build/X86/gem5.opt /home/besernd1/gem5-bootcamp-env/materials/using-gem5/02-stdlib/complete/hello-world-with-unique-cache.py
I had to make some changes in the unique_cache_hierarchy_complete.py file because the python code could not see liCache.py. When I tried to run the hello-world example, it still does not see the python file. I also have to explicitly define the path to the customResource file, because it does not understand the abbreviated directory path provided.
I also ran into a problem with some of the earlier examples. I had to add a line in front of the m5.instantiate():
board._pre_instantiate()
m5.instantiate()
This was not necessary in later examples fro 02-stdlib.
Part of the problem has to do with the tutorial and bootcamp using the codespaces. I think we need clear instructions on how to do those examples with the basic gem5 installation.

Hello, same problem here.
I am using the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and the latest gem5 stable version. I followed the HPCA(23) video tutorial and even used the available git codespace.
I removed the "resource" related code lines and used a variable -> binary = "path_to_the_benchmark" <- to set the benchmark, and another error occurred: "Attribute_Error: 'str' object has no attribute 'get_local_path' in the" -> '(86) set_se_binary_workload.py' -< file
After that I used the get_started scripts (part 1) and the benchmark worked just fine.
The new Python API is very friendly but I could not use it.

I was reviewing the tutorial with the hope that I could setup something similar for a class that I am teaching at Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering. Is there a way of running this locally on my linux system. I have gem5 installed, and it runs the basic routines described in the getting started documentation. When I try to run the tutorial I get the following error:

The github link: https://github.com/gem5-hpca-2023/gem5-tutorial-codespace does not give precise instructions on integrating any changes required back into gem5. I was wondering if there was a clearer procedure.
Thank-you,
