[Gems-users] Using Ruby with x86 targets

["Lei Yang" <lya755@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

 

To run some benchmark that only executes on x86, I have to use Ruby on a X86 target in Simics, say enterprise. I found in GEMS FAQ that

 

"GEMS is intended to support the UltraSPARC III+'s ISA, which is a superset of SPARCv9. Opal is extremely tied to this ISA implementation. Ruby is less coupled to the SPARC ISA, and can be used with x86-based targets with some modification (there is a patch for GEMS 1.2 in the downloads directory). "

 

However, when I look in the download directory, I cannot find that patch. Is there still a way to use Ruby with x86? I really appreciate your  comment on this coz I spent a whole week to get that benchmark running, only to find out that I can't use them because Ruby can't run with x86. Please help!

 

Thanks,

Lei
