Date:

WHISPER benchmark suite with static linkage.

Github link for the project

Overview

This repository contains a modified version of the WHISPER benchmark suite that enables static linkage. The modifications ensure that all dependencies are linked statically, making the benchmark suite more portable and reducing runtime dependency issues.

The tool has been tested on:

  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • gem5 20.1

Features

  • Static Linking: Eliminates runtime dependency issues by linking all required libraries at compile time.
  • gem5 Compatibility: Verified to work with gem5 20.1, ensuring smooth integration with system simulations.
  • Ubuntu 18.04 Support: Successfully tested on this platform to guarantee stability and reliability.
