This fork is intended to offer an easy Python interface to evaluate Palmed against PMEvo. All credit goes to the original authors — see below.
Artifact for "PMEvo: Portable Inference of Port Mappings for Out-of-Order Processors by Evolutionary Optimization"
Also see the project website and the paper.
A full pre-built version of this VM is available here for download. A smaller VM without pre-built Ithemal container is available here.
This artifact was created to be used as a Vagrant Virtual Machine.
Usage without the VM is possible, but might require you to apply some steps from vm_setup/bootstrap.sh and vm_setup/post_install.sh.
In particular, you need to set the PMEVO_BASE environment variable to the absolute path of the vm_setup/pmevo directory.
The artifact is provided as a Vagrant Virtual Machine using the Virtual Box provider. To run it, you will need to install Vagrant as described here:
https://www.vagrantup.com/intro/getting-started/install.html
and also Virtual Box as available here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/
Depending on your hardware platform, it might be necessary to enable virtualization options in your system's BIOS to use virtual box.
Use the following command to build the VM:
cd vm_setup
vagrant up
Once this is done, ssh to the VM and run the post-install script:
vagrant ssh
./post_install.sh
Next, leave the VM and package it up:
exit
vagrant package --output ../pmevo-artifact.box
Take the resulting box and put it into an archive together with the shipping vagrant file:
cd ..
tar -czvf pmevo-artifact.tgz Vagrantfile pmevo-artifact.box
Done!
