===== Ongoing gem5-gpu Development =====
  * Join the gem5-gpu-dev email list by [[https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/gem5-gpu-dev|requesting access here]]
  * If you would like to contribute to gem5-gpu, please email this list 




When our code review and contribution are setup, the below describes the processes for contribution. Inquire with us if you would like to contribute.
  * To encourage ongoing gem5-gpu development, we plan to host a code review site at [[http://multifacet-reviews.cs.wisc.edu/]]
    * You will need “reviews user ID” to post review requests
    * We plan to use a review and commit process very similar to gem5 ([[http://gem5.org/Commit_Access]])
    * Setup:
      * Since gem5-gpu spans 3 separate codebases (gem5, GPGPU-Sim, and gem5-gpu), there are 3 separate repositories to which you will need to submit code reviews
      * First, you’ll need to configure Mercurial to point to appropriate repo IDs for submitting patches to gem5-patches, gpgpu-sim-patches and gem5-gpu repos. Add the following Reviewboard configuration to the listed Mercurial config files:
        * gem5-gpu/gem5/.hg/hgrc (repoid = 6)
        * gem5-gpu/gpgpu-sim/.hg/hgrc (repoid = 7)
        * gem5-gpu/gem5-gpu/.hg/hgrc (repoid = 8)


<code>
[reviewboard]
server          = https://multifacet-reviews.cs.wisc.edu/
user            = <reviews user ID>
repoid          = <IDs listed above>
</code>

**NOTE: If you setup GPGPU-Sim from the public git server instead of pulling from our repositories, you will not be able to submit review requests to our GPGPU-Sim patches repository**

      * To submit a code review to gem5 or GPGPU-Sim, create a new patch at the tip of the patch queue containing your changes. Use hg postreview -o in either the gem5 or GPGPU-Sim repository (NOT the patch repository) to submit this patch for review. Checking in this code will require that you push a patch to the appropriate patch queue rather than to the gem5 or GPGPU-Sim repositories. This process may require merging your patch with prior patches in the queue
      * To submit a code review to gem5-gpu, simply create a patch using Mercurial queues and submit it using hg postreview -o. To check in this patch, use hg qfinish to commit the patch to your local repository, and then use hg push to check the code into the mainline repository

**NOTE: Publishing changesets is currently only supported with UW CS credentials, but details for pushing to the mainline repository will be updated as secure, open publishing becomes available.**

    * Regression tests:
      * We have set up gem5-gpu regression tests using gem5's regressions infrastructure, and these tests need to be passed in order to check in new changes. Here are instructions for [[regressions|running and updating regressions]].

      * We have internal tools for regressing and controlling gem5-gpu. Please contact us if you are interested in these tools
