I think I found a solution to this problem. It required changing something
in the src file gem5/src/sim/power/mathexpr_powermodel.cc.
In the startup function the stats are being recorded from the statsList to
the stats_map which will be used by the power model to find the
corresponding value to each element in the power expressions.
The problem with the current implementation that it was taking a substring
from the name removing the basename which is the name of the object. So
when I try to access it from outside all objects it gives me an error.
for (auto & i: Stats::statsList()) {
if (i->name.find(basename) == 0) {
// Add stats for this sim object and its child objects
stats_map[i->name.substr(basename.size())] = i;
} else if (i->name.find(".") == std::string::npos) {
// Add global stats (sim_seconds, for example)
stats_map[i->name] = i;
}
}
What I did and was compatible with what I need to achieve was replacing the
whole part with simply this
for (auto & i: Stats::statsList()) {
stats_map[i->name] = i;
}
