None. All setup work is done within the simulator without running any simulated code. If you're using FS the OS would have to boot before you could run your user level application benchmarks, but then the OS is the workload. > > 2) If I assigned the same workload to two CPUs in a CMP config, will > the start-up code do EXACTLY the same (instructions...)? Yes, they would both start with the workload. > > 3) Is there a way to exclude the start-up code from the simulation > (from stats, etc.)? It's not included.
