Supported Architectures
From gem5
gem5 is a flexible architecture simulator that supports a number of ISAs and operating systems for both full-system simulation (booting an entire operating system) and syscall emulation (running one or more applications by emulating syscalls). An overview of the architecture support is given in the table below.
| ISA | Maintainer | Level of ISA support | Full-system OS support | Test coverage | Tool chain availability | Linux kernel availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALPHA | None | High | Linux | Medium | Low | Low |
| ARM | Andreas Sandberg | High | Linux, BSD, Android | High | High | High |
| MIPS | None | Low | None | Low | Medium | Medium |
| POWER | None | Low | None | Low | Medium | Medium |
