[gem5-users] Diff b/w num_insts and numCycles

[ZPWU]

Hi,

I am running some simulation in X86_SE mode and I am looking at the  
stats.txt output file and I noticed that there is a difference between  
the num_insts simulated in CPU vs num of Cycles simulated in CPU. I  
thought that the simulator simulates 1 instruction every clock cycle,  
so why is there a difference between them? Any advices would be  
appreciated.

system.cpu.numCycles       11303         # number of cpu cycles simulated
system.cpu.num_insts       9810          # Number of instructions executed.

Thanks
