This document provides instructions to create a GAP Benchmark Suite (GAPBS) disk image, which, along with an example script, may be used to run GAPBS within gem5 simulations. The example script uses a pre-built disk-image.

A pre-built disk image, for X86, can be found, gzipped, here: <http://dist.gem5.org/dist/v22-1/images/x86/ubuntu-18-04/gapbs.img.gz>.

If everything looks good then I will upload the disks and add the links.


## Building the Disk Image
## What's on the disk?

Assuming that you are in the `src/gapbs/` directory, first create `m5` (which is needed to create the disk image):
- username: gem5
- password: 12345

```sh
git clone https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5
cd gem5/util/m5
scons build/x86/out/m5
```
- The `gem5-bridge`(m5) utility is installed in `/usr/local/bin/gem5-bridge`.
- `libm5` is installed in `/usr/local/lib/`.
- The headers for `libm5` are installed in `/usr/local/include/gem5-bridge`.

Thus, you should be able to build packages on the disk and easily link to the gem5-bridge library.

The disk has network disabled by default to improve boot time in gem5.

If you want to enable networking, you need to modify the disk image and move the file `/etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml.bak` to `/etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml`.

To create the disk image you need to add the packer binary in the disk-image directory:
## Building the Disk Image
Harshil2107 marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved

Assuming that you are in the `src/gapbs/` directory, run

```sh
cd disk-image/
./build.sh # the script downloading packer binary and building the disk image
```

After this process succeeds, the disk image can be found on the `src/gapbs/disk-image/gapbs-image/gapbs`.
After this process succeeds, the disk image can be found on the `src/gapbs/disk-image-ubuntu-24-04`.

GAPBS disk image can support both real and synthetic graph inputs. The current pre-built disk image contains only one graph input which includes the New York city road map (with 733K nodes) it can be found: <http://users.diag.uniroma1.it/challenge9/download.shtml>.
This gapbs image uses the prebuilt ubuntu 24.04 image as a base image. The gapbs image also throws the same exit events as the base image.

Elaborate more on exit events in the base disk image and/or add link to base image documentation.

I think you should also say "Look at the Boot Sequences section for information on what exit events will take place", then tell users where they can find configuration scripts with that exit event setup. Since the PR to update the config scripts is still pending, maybe you could point users to the "usage" tab of one of the gem5 resources with the fleshed out exit event handler setup (such as this one: https://resources.gem5.org/resources/x86-ubuntu-24.04-img/usage?database=gem5-resources&version=2.0.0). Or even just put it in a code block somewhere in this document.

I agree with more explanations about two things:

  1. what the path to the programs' executable is in the disk image. This is probably required to setup the command in the run script. I saw in the examples Erin provided below, she has not specified that, and has used them directly as ./cc for this purpose.
  2. number of exit events, their orders, and where they are in the main program.

  1. I have added the path to the executable, I will also add the links to the workloads on gem5 resources when the changes looks good, and the disks have been uploads. There will be a workload for each executable benchmark in 3 sizes and with two real graphs. Is there any other information that I should add?

  2. The boot sequences section in the readme explains, where the exits will occur. will it be beneficial to mention exact files?

  1. Thanks for adding this. Looks good to me.
  2. That also looks good with the stars marked to see how many exit events must be handled in the runs scripts.


To use other graphs simply copy the graph in the gapbs/ directory and add them to gapbs/gapbs.json.
Each benchmark also has its regions of intrests annotated and they throw a `gem5-bridge workbegin` and `gem5-bridge workend` exit event.

## Simulating GAPBS using an example script
## Init Process and Exit Events

An example script with a pre-configured system is available in the following directory within the gem5 repository:
This section outlines the disk image's boot process variations and the impact of specific boot parameters on its behavior.
By default, the disk image boots with systemd in a non-interactive mode.
Users can adjust this behavior through kernel arguments at boot time, influencing the init system and session interactivity.

```
gem5/configs/example/gem5_library/x86-gapbs-benchmarks.py
```
### Boot Parameters

The example script specifies a system with the following parameters:
The disk image supports two main kernel arguments to adjust the boot process:

* A `SimpleSwitchableProcessor` (`KVM` for startup and `TIMING` for ROI execution). There are 2 CPU cores, each clocked at 3 GHz.
* 2 Level `MESI_Two_Level` cache with 32 kB L1I and L1D size, and, 256 kB L2 size. The L1 cache(s) has associativity of 8, and, the L2 cache has associativity 16. There are 2 L2 cache banks.
* The system has 3 GB `SingleChannelDDR4_2400` memory.
* The script uses `x86-linux-kernel-4.19.83` and `x86-gapbs`, the disk image created from following the instructions in this `README.md`.
- `no_systemd=true`: Disables systemd as the init system, allowing the system to boot without systemd's management.
- `interactive=true`: Enables interactive mode, presenting a shell prompt to the user for interactive session management.

The example script must be run with the `X86` binary. To build:
Combining these parameters yields four possible boot configurations:

```sh
git clone https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5
cd gem5
scons build/X86/gem5.opt -j<proc>
```
Once compiled, you may use the example config file to run the GAPBS benchmark programs using the following command:
1. **Default (Systemd, Non-Interactive)**: The system uses systemd for initialization and runs non-interactively.
2. **Systemd and Interactive**: Systemd initializes the system, and the boot process enters an interactive mode, providing a user shell.
3. **Without Systemd and Non-Interactive**: The system boots without systemd and proceeds non-interactively, executing predefined scripts.
4. **Without Systemd and Interactive**: Boots without systemd and provides a shell for interactive use.

```sh
# In the gem5 directory
build/X86/gem5.opt \
configs/example/gem5_library/x86-gapbs-benchmarks.py \
--benchmark <benchmark_program> \
--synthetic <synthetic> \
--size <size_or_graph_name>
```
### Note on Print Statements and Exit Events

- The bold points in the sequence descriptions are `printf` statements in the code, indicating key moments in the boot process.
- The `**` symbols mark gem5 exit events, essential for simulation purposes, dictating system shutdown or reboot actions based on the configured scenario.

### Boot Sequences

#### Default Boot Sequence (Systemd, Non-Interactive)

- Kernel output
- **Kernel Booted print message** **
- Running systemd print message
- Systemd output
- autologin
- **Running after_boot script** **
- Print indicating **non-interactive** mode
- **Reading run script file**
- Script output
- Exit **

#### With Systemd and Interactive

- Kernel output
- **Kernel Booted print message** **
- Running systemd print message
- Systemd output
- autologin
- **Running after_boot script** **
- Shell

#### Without Systemd and Non-Interactive

- Kernel output
- **Kernel Booted print message** **
- autologin
- **Running after_boot script** **
- Print indicating **non-interactive** mode
- **Reading run script file**
- Script output
- Exit **

#### Without Systemd and Interactive

- Kernel output
- **Kernel Booted print message** **
- autologin
- **Running after_boot script** **
- Shell

Description of the three arguments, provided in the above command are:
* **--benchmark**, which refers to one of 5 benchmark programs, provided in the GAP Benchmark Suite. These include `cc`, `bc`, `tc`, `pr` and `bfs`. For more information on the workloads can be found at <http://gap.cs.berkeley.edu/benchmark.html>.
* **--synthetic** refers whether to use a synthetic or a real graph. It accepts a boolean value.
* **--size**, which refers to either the size of a synthetic graph from 1 to 16 nodes, or, a real graph. The real graph included in the pre-built disk-image is `USA-road-d.NY.gr`. Note that `--synthetic True` and `--size USA-road-d.NY.gr` cannot be combined, and, vice versa for real graphs.
This detailed overview provides a foundational understanding of how different boot configurations affect the system's initialization and mode of operation.
By selecting the appropriate parameters, users can customize the boot process for diverse environments, ranging from automated setups to hands-on interactive sessions.

It could be good to add an overview of the benchmarks available on the built disk, or point toward the GAPBS documentation

I will add a section with all the benchmark workloads, when we upload the disk to the cloud and I can push the JSONs to MongoDB.

This line has a problem when the .gz file already exists. Can you do one of the following?

  1. If the .gz file already exists, wget will download it to .gz.1 or so. Before downloading the .gz file, make sure you remove the old download of .gz file.
  2. If the .gz file already exists, checksum the file. If the checksum does not match, remove the old .gz file and re-download the .gz file.
