The chair for compiler construction gave a talk at the gem5 Workshop co-located with the ARM Research Summit 2017 in Cambridge. The summit is an academic platform to discuss future trends and disruptive technologies across all sectors of computing. The gem5 workshop was hosted by ARM Research at the first day of the summit. The workshop focused entirely on the gem5 simulation framework which is a popular, widely used, and open platform for simulation of computer systems.

Subject of the talk given by Christian Menard and Matthias Jung from Fraunhofer IESE is the coupling of gem5 with the industry dominating SystemC. This work was published as a paper at SAMOS'17. While the talk at SAMOS had a more general perspective, the talk in Cambridge targeted specifically the gem5 community.
