You're probably using the wrong PAL code (ts_osfpal instead of tsb_osfpal). I modified the latter to add different configuration addresses that support more than 4 processors (the original limit of the Tsunami platform).

Hi,

I’m encountering a repeated warning message from M5 and I was hoping you could provide some detail of how serious of a warning message this is. In particular, I’m running the Netperf stream workload with Linux 2.6.22 and a drive system containing 5 processors. Soon after starting the simulation, a continuous stream of “warn: clear IPI for CPU=0, but NO IPI” warning messages are printed to the screen. As you probably know, this message comes from the clearIPI() function of tsunami_cchip.cc. This warning message only occurs when the system is greater than 4 cpus. By calling the remote kernel debugger from the user-level debugger on M5, I obtained the following kernel call stack. However, I don’t think it is very useful. It appears to be a simple delay (idle?) loop.

Could you please provide me some more information of what this warning message means?

Thanks!  I appreciate the help.

Brad
