[gem5-users] Preferred way of dumping checkpoints for Aarch64

[Arthur Perais via gem5-users]

Hello fellow gem5 users,

I recently started using gem5 again, and my current question relates to 
the current best practice to generate ARM checkpoints using simpoints.

Specifically, even by generating BBV files (used by simpoints) for 
SPEC2k17 binaries through a fast mechanism, dumping checkpoints with the 
NonCachingSimpleCPU may still take months depending on where the last 
simpoint is (I am getting about 1MIPS with gem5.fast on a 3.4GHz 
Westmere Xeon, which is old, but still). Therefore, I wanted to ask if 
there currently is a preferred route for checkpointing fairly 
long-running workloads, like maybe using the kvm cpu model and a 
specific ARM dev board (but which one?) or server (then again, which one?).

Any insight or methodology details is appreciated :)

Best,

Arthur Perais
