ALMOS distribution for the TSAR many-core
Summary
Running ALMOS on the TSAR virtual prototype requires the installation of several open-source technologies like a GCC cross-compiler for Mips (el), SocLib virtual prototyping library, TSAR related components, and SystemCASS. To simplify the task of building and configuring a correct development environment, ALMOS comes with a stand-alone and ready-to-use distribution.
Mainly, this distribution enables you to:
- Port your own applications and libraries to ALMOS.
- Run these applications on TSAR using several configurations ranging from 4 to 1024 cores.
- Analyse the performance of your applications or the totality of the software-stack on a large-scale many-core.
Upon your needs you can also use this distribution to:
- Validate and evaluate any hardware evolution/development in a TSAR based architectures.
- Validate and evaluate any kernel new features or updates.
- Experiment and develop new parallel programming libraries and run-times for a large-scale single-chip many-core.
Getting Started
Setup
Download the latest stable distribution from this link. Decompress the .tbz2 file:
tar jxf almos-tsar-mipsel.tbz2
Now you have a sub-directory named almos-tsar-mipsel ... Congratulation you are done !
