Hey,

1) Did you compile the benchmarks statically? Because if you want to run them on M5 everything you run is the compiled binary. So dynamic libraries cannot be load.

2) For SPEC CPU2000 the situation is indeed more complicated. I compiled some benchmarks of SPEC CPU2006 and had to do the following things in the config-file (make sure you pick a config-file with properties very similar to your machine):
-Select the propper compiler:
CC           = gcc
    into
CC = /DIRECTORY OF CROSSTOOL/gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.3.5/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -Modify the compile-flags (add the "static" flag) in the "optimization" section:
## Base is low opt
default=base=default=default:
COPTIMIZE     = -O2 -static
CXXOPTIMIZE  = -O2 -static
FOPTIMIZE    = -O2 -static

However I recommend you to build SPEC CPU 2000 first for your native machine. This could be already difficult. If it works, then try it for ALPHA_SE

Hi all,

I want to cross-compile some benchmarks so that I can run them in M5. I'm using a ALPHA_SE mode M5 on a x86_64 Ubuntu machine. Potentially I target to use MiBench or SPEC CPU 2000. I downloaded the pre-compiled cross-compiler for Alpha from m5sim.org.

*1) For MiBench*, it has a simple src code/data structure with a simple Makefile. For example, qsort, I modifed the Makefile of it as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILE1 = qsort_small.c
FILE2 = qsort_large.c

all: qsort_small qsort_large

qsort_small: qsort_small.c Makefile
/export/research57/weixun/tools/M5/crosstool/gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.3.5/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -static qsort_small.c -O3 -o qsort_small -lm
qsort_large: qsort_large.c Makefile
/export/research57/weixun/tools/M5/crosstool/gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.3.5/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -static qsort_large.c -O3 -o qsort_large -lm

clean:
    rm -rf qsort_small qsort_large output*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I used the option "-lm" since the original "-lc" lead to errors like "undefined references to 'exp'". If "-L /export/research57/weixun/tools/M5/crosstool/gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.3.5/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/lib" is used, the error still remains.

The compilation is successful. However, if I run it using configs/example/se.py, I got the errors:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other benchmarks in MiBench shows similar errors or just simplely hang on "info: Increasing stack size by one page.".

I guess the compile options are not correct or the right library is not linked. Please help...........................




*2) For SPEC CPU 2000*, it is more complicated. I copied the entire CD to a local directory. The problem is I do not have the su privilege on the machine I worked on. So the install.sh does not work correctly. Is there a simpler way for cross-compile SPEC CPU 2000 benchmarks (or at least some of them) for M5?



Thanks!!!
