Hi, 1. Output is written to ptlsim.log or you can specify a yamlstats file to get more details information. 2. If you're talking about -m, it's all up to you. It sets the VM memory. 3. I've only used Virtualbox to compile MARSS, whenever I tried to run it, it was just too slow to do anything useful. As of right now, I can't support a VM environment for running MARSS. 4. We have McPat script in the util/ folder that you can use for power estimation. 5. Our website, http://marss86.org/~marss86/index.php/Home has all of the information you might be looking for.
