I am comparing two scenarios (KVM+O3) and (Atomic+O3). Using the first one to restore from the checkpoint and the second one to run the actual simulation. It turns out the when I have taken my checkpoints with KVM, I have to use the (KVM+O3), otherwise, at the end of the simulation, IPC numbers do

I do not think IPC is supposed to make any sense with Atomic CPU anyway. One solution to check that it is running fine would be to go and check the output (stdout or a file), which seems doable for a microbenchmark, but maybe not for a large workload. Arthur On 4/15/21 5:18 AM, Majid Jalili v

I have tried this option, the problem is for a simple microbenchmark, if I do not use KVM, the IPCs make no sense. I mean for the same configuration if change --restore-with-cpu with KVM or atomic, the simulation starts and end, but numbers make no sense. On Mon, Apr 12, 2021 at 9:42 PM Bobby Bru

Hey Majid, The short answer is yes, this use-case should be supported. You can use the `--restore-with-cpu` option to restore to the Atomic CPU. Kind regards, Bobby -- Dr. Bobby R. Bruce Room 2235, Kemper Hall, UC Davis Davis, CA, 95616 web: https://www.bobbybruce.net On Fri, Apr 9, 2021 at 2
