Hello,
in my last emails I had a problem when simulating for large of instructions
(100 intervals of 10M instructions each), the assertion !freeList.empty() was
raised.
What actually made my system, run without any problem theoretically is that In
increased the number of MSHRQueue in src/mem/cache/base.cc from 4 to 8 like
this:
BaseCache::BaseCache(const Params *p)
: MemObject(p),
mshrQueue("MSHRs", p->mshrs, 8, MSHRQueue_MSHRs),
and now my program terminates correctly.
However, during simulation I get a thousands of these warnings:
warn: allocating bonus target for snoop
and the system is considerably slower than it should be. Normally the
simulation should finish in an a hour and a half but this takes more than 3
hours.
I have made modifications to memory-objects and I am using ARM architecture.
My questions are:
1. Is it a problem that I increased the number of MSHRQueue?
2. Is the warning worrying? Might it be that because of that warning my system
has became slower?
regards,
Ignatios
