Second222None / PIMSim

PIMSim is a Process-In-Memory Simulator with the compatibility of GEM5 full-system simulation.

PIMSim had updated to V2.0!

Add support to GEM5 full-sytem simulation.

• Add PIM instructions in GEM5.
• Executable PIM binary compiler.
• Detailed User Instruction to help you custmize your own PIM system.
