From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Mosberger Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 22:12:50 +0000 Subject: [Linux-ia64] beta for ski v0.9.81 available Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org A beta version of ski v0.9.81 is now available for testing. Ski is a relatively fast IA-64 instruction set simulator which is useful both for application-level and system-level software development. For more info, see this URL: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/ski/ Since this is a beta, there may be some rough edges or unexpected features (aka "bugs"). If you find such things, please report them on lia64-sim@linux.hpl.hp.com. Major enhancements include: o Full coverage of SDM2.1. In particular, the 16-byte atomic operations are now supported by Ski. o System-level simulation is now a lot faster (about twice as fast) thanks to some optimization work by Laurent Morichetti. o The "cstack" (call-stack) command now finally works, courtesy of libunwind. For more detailed release notes, see: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/ski/release-notes.php#v0.9.81l1 The Ski web site provides binaries for x86 and ia64 free of charge and also provides a sample Linux kernel, bootloader, and root file-system.
