Compilation

• Compiling gem5 might result in opening a lot of files and on macOS, the default number of files can be opened at the same time on the whole system is 30720, and that number for an individual process is 10240. To increase these limits,

sudo sysctl kern.maxfiles=70000
sudo sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc=70000
