We are happy to announce the gem5 Tutorial and Users' Workshop, to be co-located with ISCA 2022, in New York City, on Saturday June 18th 2022. We intend for this event to be held in person assuming no worsening COVID travel restrictions.
The gem5 Tutorial will be held in the morning session and will focus on teaching those new to gem5 how to use the latest version. It will be “crash course” in gem5 and assume no prior knowledge of using computer architecture simulators. The tutorial will focus heavily on new features in gem5, such as the gem5 standard library, so may be suitable for those who have used gem5 before but wish to refresh their skills.
The gem5 Users' Workshop will be held in the afternoon session. This will be an opportunity for the users of gem5 to give presentations on their contributions to gem5 and related research. The workshop will start with a 30 minute keynote by Prof. Jason Lowe-Power, titled “Recent Advancements in Mainline gem5 v20.0 -- v21.2”. The workshop will continue with short presentations (15 minutes each) on gem5-related topics. We hope this will invoke discussions on gem5-related topics.
The gem5 tutorial is designed to give computer architecture researchers, particularly those with no prior experience using a computer architecture simulator, the opportunity to learn how to use gem5. It will be held on the morning session of Saturday June 18th 2022.
Please keep an eye on the ISCA 2022 event page for details on registering for this event.
