2016-10-04	gpu-compute: Added method to compute the actual workgroup size	Alexandru Dutu
	This patch adds a method to the Wavefront class to compute the actual workgroup size. This can be different from the maximum workgroup size specified when launching the kernel through the NDRange object. Current solution is still not optimal, as we are computing these for each wavefront and the dispatcher also needs to have this information and can't actually call Wavefront::computeActuallWgSz before the wavefronts are being created. A long term solution would be to have a Workgroup class that deals with all these details.
2016-09-16	gpu-compute: Adding context serialization methods to Wavefront	Alexandru Dutu
	This patch adds methods to serialize the context of a particular wavefront to the simulated system memory. Context serialization is used when a wavefront is preempeted (i.e. context switch).

2016-09-16	gpu-compute: Changing reconvergenceStack type	Alexandru Dutu
	std::stack has no iterators, therefore the reconvergence stack can't be iterated without poping elements off. We will be using std::list instead to be able to iterate for saving and restoring purposes.
2016-09-16	gpu-compute: Adding ioctl for HW context size	Alexandru Dutu
	Adding runtime support for determining the memory required by a SIMD engine when executing a particular wavefront.
2016-09-16	gpu-compute: Wavefront refactoring	Alexandru Dutu
	Renaming members of the Wavefront class in accordance with the style guide.
2016-06-09	gpu-compute: parametrize Wavefront size	jkalamat
	Eliminate the VSZ constant that defined the Wavefront size (in numbers of work items); replaced it with a parameter in the GPU.py configuration script. Changed all data structures dependent on the Wavefront size to be dynamically sized. Legal values of Wavefront size are 16, 32, 64 for now and checked at initialization time.
2016-06-06	stats: Fixing regStats function for some SimObjects	David Guillen Fandos
	Fixing an issue with regStats not calling the parent class method for most SimObjects in Gem5. This causes issues if one adds new stats in the base class (since they are never initialized properly!).

2016-02-18	gpu: fix bugs with MemFence, Flat Instrs and Resource utilization	John Kalamatianos
	Both Memory Fence is now flagged as Global Memory only to avoid resource oversubscribing. Flat instructions now check for Shared Memory resource busy to avoid oversubscribing resources. All WaitClass resources now use cycles (not ticks) to register the number of pipe stages between Scoreboard and Execute to be consistent with instruction scheduling logic which always used clock cycles.
