+ The gem5 simulator is a modular platform for computer-system
+architecture research, encompassing system-level architecture as
+well as processor microarchitecture. gem5 is a community led project
+ with an open governance model.
+
+ gem5 was originally conceived for computer architecture research
+in academia, but it has grown to be used in computer system design
+by academia, industry for research, and in teaching.
+
+By default it's build the X86 simulator, you can set to other
+architectures with a environment variable as following:
+ - MIPS=yes
+ - POWER=yes
+ - RISCV=yes
+ - SPARC=yes
+
+Optional:
+ - protobuf-c (for tracing support)
+ - hdf5
