Hi All,

I have a question about the fast forward command and the stop command.

The FFT benchmark that is included in the image runs for about 1300000
cycles for atom core.

Is it possible to use fast forward command and the stop command to split the
cycles into 13 pieces and look at their stats file accordingly?

For example

1~100000 => stats file 1
100001 ~ 200000 => stats file 2

....

etc up to stats file 13
Using MARSS, it seems to me to be impossible to simulate precisely from instruction x to y of a benchmark.
However, you can do it approximately.
You would need to create a checkpoint at the beginning of your benchmark.
Then, for the first simulation, use "-run" and "-stopinsns 100000".
For the second one, use "-fast-fwd-user-insns 100000" and "-stopinsns 100000".
And so on.

When i tried to use the fast forward command in simconfig, it just runs
everything in the background before typing ./start_sim, is there something
wrong I'm doing, or is there a better way to do this?
Are you using fast forward command to create checkpoint?
As I know, -fast-fwd-user-insns sends -run to simulator automaticly after running specified number of instructions.

Thank you for your help
