 # 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.

 ## Building the Disk Image
 Assuming that you are in the `src/gapbs/` directory, first create `m5` (which is needed to create the disk image):
