Wisconsin Multifacet GEMS v2.1.1 is now available for download. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/gems Notes ===== In response to Virtutech's removal of support for Simics 2.X, this minor release updates the default Simics version expected by GEMS from 2.X to 3.X. Existing users of GEMS are NOT required to upgrade to this version since older versions of GEMS starting from v1.3 are compatible with Simics 3.X. Internally, the Multifacet group continues to use Simics 2.X. However, efforts to transition to Simics 3.X are underway. Results of an internal study comparing GEMS behavior on Simics 3.X vs Simics 2.X are available at: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/gems/simics_v2to3_study.doc GEMS 2.1.1 can either be downloaded as a complete tar-ball or as a patch file that can be applied to the GEMS 2.1 release.
