# Hotspot Benchmark
## Make options
compile_host - compiles to run locally
compile_gem5 - compiles to run in gem5
run_host - runs locally
run_gem5 - runs in gem5
## Specific make/compiler flags
To compile for SVE, add `SVE=1`
To time all functions in the benchmark, compile with `TIME=1`
## Makefile variables
S: input matrix size (size x size)
I: number of iterations
CPU: choose between A7/A15 CPU models
## Executable usage
Usage: ./hotspot <grid_rows> <grid_cols> <sim_time> <no. of threads> <temp_file> <power_file>
<grid_rows> - number of rows in the grid (positive integer)
<grid_cols> - number of columns in the grid (positive integer)
<sim_time> - number of iterations
<no. of threads> - number of threads
<temp_file> - name of the file containing the initial temperature values of each cell
<power_file> - name of the file containing the dissipated power values of each cell
## Misc
To find the value of a makefile variable, type `make print-VARIABLE`
