A.2.4.1 Hard-Disk Image Files Table 15-3 shows hard-disk image files present in the simulator. These images can be found in the simulators "/image" folder (see Section 2.3, "Directory Structure and Executable", on page 4). File name Description Bare-4gig.hdd 4-GB bare hard disk image. Bare-8gig.hdd 8-GB bare hard disk image. Table 15-3: Hard-Disk Images A.2.4.2 Memory SPD Files When a computer is booted (started), serial presence detect (SPD) is information stored in an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) chip on memory module that tells the BIOS the memory module's size, data width, and speed. The BIOS uses this information to configure the memory properly for maximum reliability and performance.

To use buffered DDR/DDR2 memory use the “simnow_DDRx_yyyy_reg.spd” SPD files (for DDR2 x = 2 and yyyy = size in Mbytes).

Successfully completed an in-memory run of TPC-C on a simulated multi- processor system, as well as parts of TPC-C on a simulated RAID device. . Successfully completed Sysmark® 2004's Office Productivity section and parts of Internet Content Creation. A.4 CPUID This section is an overview of the CPUID feature implementation in the AweSim CPU processor model. A.4.1 CPUID Standard Feature Support (Standard Function 0x01) Table 15-6 shows the standard feature bits returned by the AweSim CPU processor model and which features are fully () or only partially () implemented and supported. A indicates that the returned feature bit is zero and this feature is not implemented and not supported. * Feature 7th Generation 8th Generation (Base) 8th Generation Pre.-Rev. F 8th Generation Rev.
