+# GAP Benchmark Suite (GAPBS) tests
+This document provides instructions to create a GAP Benchmarks Suite (GAPBS) disk image, which, along with provided configuration scripts, may be used to run GAPBS within gem5 simulations.
+
+A pre-build disk image, for X86, can be found here: <http://dist.gem5.org/images/x86/ubuntu-18-04/gapbs>.
+
+## Building the Disk Image
+Assuming that you are in the `src/gapbs/` directory, first create `m5` (which is needed to create the disk image):
+
+```sh
+git clone https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5
+cd gem5/util/m5
+scons build/x86/out/m5
+```
+
+To create the disk image you need to add the packer binary in the disk-image directory:
+
+```sh
+cd disk-image/
+wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/packer/1.4.3/packer_1.4.3_linux_amd64.zip   # (if packer is not already installed)
+unzip packer_1.4.3_linux_amd64.zip # (if packer is not already installed)
+./packer validate gapbs/gapbs.json
+./packer build gapbs/gapbs.json
+```
+
+After this process succeeds, the disk image can be found on the `src/gapbs/disk-image/gapbs-image/gapbs`.
+
+## gem5 Configuration Scripts
+
+gem5 scripts which configure the system and run the simulation are available in `configs/`.
+The main script `run_gapbs.py` expects following arguments:
+
+**--kernel** : path to the Linux kernel. GAPBS has been tested with [vmlinux-5.2.3](http://dist.gem5.org/kernels/x86/static/vmlinux-5.2.3).
+
+**--disk** : Path to the disk image.
+
+**--cpu\_type** : Cpu model (`kvm`, `atomic`, `simple`, `o3`).
+
+**--num\_cpus** : Number of cpu cores.
+
+**--mem\_sys** : Memory model (`classic`, `MI_example`, `MESI_Two_Level`).
+
+**--benchmark** : The graph workload (`cc`, `bc`, `bfs`, `tc`, `pr`, `sssp`).
+
+**--synthetic** : Type of graph (if synthetic graph 1, if real world graph 0)
+
+**--graph** : Size of graph (if synthetic then number of nodes, else name of the graph )
+
+Example usage:
+
+```sh
+build/X86/gem5.opt configs/run_gapbs.py --kernel [path to the linux kernel] --disk [path to the disk image] --cpu-type kvm --num_cpus 1 --mem_sys classic --benchmark cc --synthetic 1 --graph 20
