User workshop 2012
|
The primary objective of this workshop is to bring together groups across the community
who are actively using gem5, discuss what is going on in the gem5
community, how we can best leverage each others contributions, and how
we continue to make gem5 a successful community-supported simulation
framework. Those who will get the most out of the conference are
current users of gem5, although anyone is welcome to attend.
Program
- Introduction [15 minutes]
- Highlighting of some recent contributions [30 minutes]
- Solicited presentations (short in-depth presentations requested by attendees before conference) [1 hour]
- User Perspectives (~12 short presentations about what you/group/company/etc are using gem5 for, any features you've added that the community should be aware of, what are the major pain points you experience, and what can be done to make gem5 better) [3 hours]
- Break-out sessions on progressing identified pain points [1.5 hours]
- Wrap-up and next steps [45 minutes]
Location
The workshop is co-located with MICRO-45 in Vancouver, BC.
Call for Presentations
As part of the workshop we plan to have a set of presentations from the community about how individuals or groups are using the simulator, any features you've added that might be useful to others, any major pain points, and what can be done to make gem5 better. The hope is that this will provide a forum for people with similar uses or needs to connect with each other. If you would like to give a short presentation (~15 minutes) please send a short (few paragraphs) abstract to workshop2012@gem5.org by October 15th, 2012?.
Additionally, we plan to dedicate one hour of the workshop for senior gem5 developers to address particular issues or questions in depth. If you would like to suggest a topic for one of these presentations please email workshop2012@gem5.org.
Date
Sunday December 2nd from 8:30 - 16:30.
Early Registration
The early registration deadline is October 31st. Please register before then.
