We have held a handful of tutorials on M5 at various conferences. Though the material in these tutorials can be out of date, the tutorial materials present a more organized (and in some cases more in-depth) overview than the wiki documentation. We highly recommend taking a look at the most recent tutorial as a complement to the documentation on the wiki.

The slides and handouts are the same material except that the handouts are formatted with two slides per page.

This tutorial, held in June 2006 at ISCA 33 in Boston, was the first one to cover M5 2.0.

ISCA-32

Our first tutorial, held in June 2006 at ISCA 32 in Madison, is rather dated as it covered M5 1.X and not 2.0.
