In October 2024, Mohammad Babaie developed AVX extended states support for the ViperBoard environment within the gem5/gem5 repository, focusing on improving ISA and virtualization accuracy. He enabled features such as AVX, OSXSAVE, XSAVE, and FMA specifically for KVM cores, ensuring that non-KVM cores issue warnings to prevent invalid simulation results. Using Python and leveraging his expertise in CPU architecture and hardware simulation, Mohammad aligned ViperBoard’s state handling with real hardware capabilities. This work enhanced simulation fidelity and performance for AVX-era workloads, providing more realistic throughput and latency estimates for modern software stacks in system simulation contexts.
