Hi, I was able to simulate a dual-system under ALPHA_FS, using the pre-compiled Surge as client and Apache as server. After booting the Linux with atomic CPU, I would like to switch the server CPUs to detailed mode and measure Apache activities for a certain amount of Surge work. My question is: in order to repeat the simulation (say with a different Etherlink or server configuration), should I create a checkpoint for the server system or the entire dual-system? Put another way, how do you guys usually conduct simulation for multiple-system? Do you guys restore from a checkpoint or simply boot the Linux from the very beginning every time?
One more thing is : is it possible to simulate more than 2 systems? Current M5 python scripts only support a dual-system connected with a Etherlink. I wonder if there is an easy way to construct a more complex network topology, say a server with a few clients (star), or a ring network. From the maillist archive, looks like M5 used to have a back-to-back-to-back topology, is it something similar to this? Thanks, Lide
