I checked the output when running 256 threads with X86 SE and its 99% the
same as the standard output. So I guess it's ok. I used gcc-pthread version
of parsec and m5thread library to compile.

According to the GEM5 website,  BigTsunami only suppports up to 64 cores in
FS mode and it's quite slow....Do you have some instructions on how to
compile a linux kernel with the ability to handle 256 cores?

Thanks!
