Re: [Gems-users] checkpointing

[Dan Gibson <degibson@xxxxxxxx>]

Dave,
GEMS was developed with the home/sarek target in mind, which is a Sun 
Serengeti machine. The OS is flexible: either Solaris or Linux will work.
The other targets represent other architectures. home/dredd is an x86 
machine, for instance. GEMS is only extensively tested for home/sarek, 
though a patch exists for Ruby (only) to operate on x86 targets. See the 
simics documentation (or run the gsimics binary, which has a 
gui-interface to the various targets) for more details on what other 
targets/architectures are available.
Regards,
Dan
