[gem5-users] Terminating multi-core simulation

2018-05-22 Thread Muhammad Avais
Dear All, I want to measure dynamic energy of L2 cache for multi-core simulations. For this purpose, i measure stats from gem5 like # of hits, # of misses and # of writebacks. As, multi-core simulation in gem5 terminates, as soon as, any workload reaches maximum count. Therefore, while

Dear Avais, I think running workloads fairly is very important in multi-core experiments, because the number of executed instructions of each core can be changed depend on each experimental configuration. There is a prior work how to experiment fairly on multi-core system; A. Hilton et al., "FIEST

Dear Haeyoon Cho., I am really thankful to you for this help. Actually, i am not very good in modifying gem5 and this code will be very helpful for me. I have one more question, is it good idea to normalize the stats with number of instructions simulated to calculate energy or other things? Does

Dear Avais, I think it is reasonable to normalize with the numbers of executed instructions, but it still is a weakness that the running sections of benchmarks are not same totally. In my case, it was my best to exit the simulation by the total numbers of executed instructions. But if you can appl
