Junshi Wang
Contributed to the gem5/gem5 repository by developing and enhancing ARM architecture simulation features, focusing on accurate modeling of SIMD and floating-point instructions. Over three months, implemented AArch32 AdvSIMD (NEON) support, added dot product and matrix multiply instructions, and introduced new floating-point features such as FEAT_FHM and FEAT_FRINTTS. Addressed critical bugs affecting FP16 fixed-point conversions and NEON edge cases, improving simulation reliability and numerical accuracy. Leveraged C++, SystemVerilog, and Python to update instruction decoders, define new instruction formats, and extend ISA coverage, enabling more robust performance modeling and research for ARM-based embedded and vectorized workloads in gem5.
