The instruction rate is slow because VM is running in 'idle' mode where most of the time CPU goes to sleep and we wait for any interrupt. In this mode each idealing core wake-up after 10000 cycles to check if there is anything to run. Meanwhile if there is any interrupt from a device it will come out of ideal mode and run the interrupt handler. Try running some application, for example try 'ls -l /'.
>From the log file the total number of instruction commits is around 600K and you are specifying 1M instructions. Also the simulation will not stop at exactly 1M instructions because it has to flush out the instructions that are partially committed. - Avadh On Mon, Aug 22, 2011 at 1:40 PM, sparsh1 mittal1 <[email protected]>wrote: > Attached is the log file. > > Also, I had issued -stopinsns 1000000 but the number of instructions > committed does not seem to be matching. > > Thanks and Regards > Sparsh Mittal > > > > > On Mon, Aug 22, 2011 at 12:37 PM, avadh patel <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> On Mon, Aug 22, 2011 at 6:37 AM, sparsh1 mittal1 <[email protected] >> > wrote: >> >>> Hello >>> I am a beginner in marss.
