 The [Princeton Application Repository for Shared-Memory Computers (PARSEC)](
 https://parsec.cs.princeton.edu/) is a benchmark suite composed of
 multithreaded programs. In `src/parsec` we provide the source to build a disk
-image which may be used, along side configuration files, to run the PARSEC
+image which may be used, alongside configuration files, to run the PARSEC
 Benchmark Suite on gem5 architectural simulations. Please consult
 `src/parsec/README.md` for build and execution information.

 # Resource: NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB) Tests
 
 The [NAS Parallel Benchmarks] (NPB) are a small set of programs designed to
 help evaluate the performance of parallel supercomputers. The set consists of
-five kenels and three pseudo-applications. gem5 resources provides a disk
-image, and scripts allowing for the NPB image to be run within gem5 X86
-simulations. A pre-build npb disk image can be downloaded here:
