This package contains the source code of Dimemas simulator, its graphical user interface and the Paraver to Dimemas trace translator, 'prv2dim'.

To compile the you will also need the Boost libraries. Version 1.36 or later are required. You can obtain this set of libraries at:

The graphical user interface is codified using Java and packaged as a JAR file. By this reason, you will need to have installed on your system a SDK distribuation as well as the Jar Archiver. We use the official Oracle/Sun Java distribution (even not being 100% open source), and we encourage using it. It can be obtained at:

Java 6 (SDK 1.6) or newer is required to properly generate the Dimemas user interface.

There is a wide range of compilation options, to fine tune the simulation. Check 'configure --help' for specific compilation options.

In order to adjust the compiler in terms of optimization or debugging options, you must provide specific compiler parameters using the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS environment variables.

Rest of the options usually regard to very specific simulation facts.Do not hesitate to contact us to solve any doubts regarding the specific Dimemas tune.
