Hi, I am trying to use MARSS for my research work on lock contention issues on parallel programs running on future many-core processors. When I tried to compile MARSS for 32 cores and run my parallel programs, I find it to take a lot of time. But when I just emulate (using the default QEMU available) instead of switching to simulation, obviously I could run my parallel programs faster and could simulate the lock contentions. I have few questions from these observations for which I look for clarifications:
1) When the MARSS is running in emulated mode is it just another QEMU? or is there any difference? 2) Since I am able to reproduce my lock contention problem using emulation(& the simulator being too slow for large core counts) I am thinking of working with it to test my algorithms. Will the research community accept the results obtained from an emulator? Kindly let me know. Thanks for your time, karthik _______________________________________________ http://www.marss86.org Marss86-Devel mailing list [email protected] https://www.cs.binghamton.edu/mailman/listinfo/marss86-devel
