2017-05-02python: Use PyBind11 instead of SWIG for Python wrappersAndreas Sandberg
Use the PyBind11 wrapping infrastructure instead of SWIG to generate wrappers for functionality that needs to be exported to Python. This has several benefits: * PyBind11 can be redistributed with gem5, which means that we have full control of the version used. This avoid a large number of hard-to-debug SWIG issues we have seen in the past. * PyBind11 doesn't rely on a custom C++ parser, instead it relies on wrappers being explicitly declared in C++. The leads to slightly more boiler-plate code in manually created wrappers, but doesn't doesn't increase the overall code size. A big benefit is that this avoids strange compilation errors when SWIG doesn't understand modern language features. * Unlike SWIG, there is no risk that the wrapper code incorporates incorrect type casts (this has happened on numerous occasions in the past) since these will result in compile-time errors. As a part of this change, the mechanism to define exported methods has been redesigned slightly. New methods can be exported either by declaring them in the SimObject declaration and decorating them with the cxxMethod decorator or by adding an instance of PyBindMethod/PyBindProperty to the cxx_exports class variable. The decorator has the added benefit of making it possible to add a docstring and naming the method's parameters. The new wrappers have the following known issues: * Global events can't be memory managed correctly. This was the case in SWIG as well.

2017-04-06power: Add a voltage variable to power expressionsAndreas Sandberg
There is currently no good way of extracting the current operating voltage in MathExprPowerModels. This change adds a magic variable, 'voltage', that can be referenced from such expressions to get the current operating voltage.

2017-04-06power: Add error checking to MathExprPowerModelAndreas Sandberg
MathExprPower model currently doesn't print any useful error messages if an expression fails to evaluate. To add insult to injury, the model only detects a failure when dumping stats and not at initialization. This change adds a verification step in startup() that ensures that all of the referenced stats actually exist.

2016-11-09style: [patch 3/22] reduce include dependencies in some headersBrandon Potter
Used cppclean to help identify useless includes and removed them. This involved erroneously included headers, but also cases where forward declarations could have been used rather than a full include.
2016-06-06pwr: Closing power and thermal feedback loopDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch makes thermal models use the power figures calculated by power models. Since there is a circular dependency between power and thermal (and thermal was pushed before) this patch closes that loop.

2016-06-06sim: Adding support for power modelsDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch adds some basic support for power models in gem5. The power interface is defined so it can interact with thermal models as well. It implements a simple power evaluator that can be used for simple power models that express power in the form of a math expression. These expressions can use stats within the same SimObject (or down its hierarchy) and some magic variables such as "temp" for temperature. In future patches we will extend this functionality to allow slightly more complex expressions. The model allows it to be extended to use other kinds of models.

2015-05-12sim: Adding thermal model supportDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch adds basic thermal support to gem5. It models energy dissipation through a circuital equivalent, which allows us to use RC networks. This lays down the basic infrastructure to do so, but it does not "work" due to the lack of power models. For now some hardcoded number is used as a PoC. The solver is embedded in the patch.
