Gem5 KVM
References:
“gem5 features a KVM-based CPU that uses virtualisation to accelerate simulation.”
In this tutorial we will build an X86 simulation, capable of running a full-system simulation, booting an Ubuntu operating system, and running a benchmark. This system will utilize gem5’s ability to switch cores, allowing booting of the operating system in KVM fast-forward mode and switching to a detailed CPU model to run the benchmark, and use a MESI Two Level Ruby cache hierarchy in a dual-core setup.
KVM will only work if the host platform and the simulated ISA are the same (e.g., X86 host and X86 simulation).
