Running benchmarks and gem5art
I have been preparing a lecture for my computer architecture class on running benchmarks using gem5. I noticed when I searched the web for examples, gem5art came up. I had been using the bootcamp 2022 tutorial as a guideline, so I am not sure where gem5art fits in. (https://www.gem5.org/documentation/gem5art/introduction). I was looking for a concise tutorial showing how to run benchmarks. The examples I had found previous featured spec2006 and spec2017 which, while interesting, can't be run due to the proprietary nature of their code. Ideally, I would not like to run the benchmarks as FS due to the amount of time required to run.
I am open to suggestions about what type of benchmark I could use. The spec benchmarks have been published in texts, and papers, and would have made a nice impression on the class. I enjoyed the bootcamp youtube videos. It made a nice way of coming up to speed.

As you had mentioned, some of them are proprietary and that made it hard to
obtain and run.

Nick,
Thank you for the links, I will try them and let you know. It looks like exactly what I was looking for.

I have been adding benchmark examples to my lecture and I ran into an interesting problem. The python code was based on the simple.py from the learning_gem5 directory. I have been using the gem-x86 code created by dockerscript as part of the bootcamp 2022 tutorial. It produces the following error when I try to run:

Hello,
Anyone went well with GEM5 and SystemC integration?
I triied to build libgem5_debug.so so I can integrate GEM5 in a standalone systemc environment with below commandline:
python3 which scons --with-cxx-config --without-python --without-tcmalloc USE_SYSTEMC=1 build/RISCV/libgem5_$(BUILD_TYPE).so -j 32
But I got below issue with "--with-cxx-config" option.
build/RISCV/cxx_config/Gem5ToTlmBridge32.cc: In member function ‘virtual gem5::SimObject* gem5::Gem5ToTlmBridge32CxxConfigParams::simObjectCreate()’:

149 | return this->create();
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~^~
| |
| sc_gem5::Gem5ToTlmBridge<32>*
if I do without this option, assertion fired in below, complaining:

Hello Yu-hsin,
Just saw you are the main edtor of tlm bridge to sysc, maybe you are the right person? :)
In the bridge, this->create() will return a Gem5ToTlmBridge type which is incompatible with SimObject as below declared, any comments? Thanks a lot!
SimObject *
Gem5ToTlmBridge32CxxConfigParams::simObjectCreate()
{
return this->create();
}
