| The 'matrix-multiply' resource runs a multiplication on two 100x100 matrixes. |
| The sum of the multiplied matrix is printed upon completion. |
| |
| ## Building Instructions |
| |
| Run `make`. |
| |
| This will only compile the binary to the X86 ISA. |
| |
| ## Cleaning Instructions |
| |
| Run `make clean` in the Makefile directory. |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| As this binary does not contain any special `m5` library code it can be run outside of a gem5 simulation: |
| |
| ```sh |
| ./matrix-multiply |
| ``` |
| |
| It can also be run in a gem5 simulation in SE mode. |
| Below is a snippet which utilizes the gem5 standard library to do so: |
| |
| ```py |
| board.set_se_workload(Resource("x86-matrix-multiply")) |
| |
| simulator = Simulator(board = board) |
| ``` |
| |
