Re: [Gems-users] Ruby-x86 patch now available

[Dan Gibson <degibson@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Shan,

The GEMS support for x86 is limited to the Ruby module (the memory 
hierarchy model), which supports CMP or non-CMP configurations, using 
in-order cores. The memory consistency model is SC.

Opal has not been modified to simulate x86 targets. Doing so would 
definitely be non-trivial.

Regards,
Dan
