+3.2 (OPTIONAL) Updating Intersim2 (ADVANCED USERS ONLY)
+
+Booksim 2.0 is maintained by the Concurrent VLSI Architecture group at Stanford
+(https://nocs.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/Resources/BookSim). Intersim2 
+is Booksim 2.0 with extentions. Booksim 2.0 is still under active development, 
+with updates that usually bring cutting edge features and bug fixes. If you want
+these new features or bug fixes, it is possible to pull updates from Booksim 2.0
+ server and apply the updates to Intersim2. You can follow the instructions 
+below to update Intersim2 with the new Booksim 2.0.
+
+As above, YOU SHOULD BACKUP YOUR CHANGES BEFORE PROCEEDING.
+
+The Booksim 2.0 uses svn source control. First, go to the Intersim2 root 
+directory($GPGPUSIM_ROOT/src/intersim2) in the terminal. Then, run the 
+following command in terminal:
+
+svn update
 
+While svn is updating your local copy of Intersim2 with the latest changes from
+the Booksim 2.0 svn server, conflicts might arise due to changes that either we
+or you made that conflict with the latest updates. In this case, svn will prompt
+you to edit conflict files using default text editor or you can postpone it and 
+then using your favorite merge tool to resolve conflict files.
 
+After you updated Intersim2, you should test the merged version through the 
+instructions described in Section 3.1.
