Hi,
There was an old email that explains how to set thread affinity in PARSEC:

add
export GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY="0 1 2 3"
to the .rcS script

I used 2 threads and 2 cores for two different PARSEC programs, and use:

export GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY="0 1"

./prog1 & prog2
in the .rcS script

so that each thread is running one of the PARSEC program on one of the core 
allocated.

I am not quite sure if it is the right way to do so.

I did use "taskset" before, but not successful. Is there anyone who is familiar 
with taskset in gem5?

Thanks,
Yanqi

Hi Yanqi,

I also want to bind tasks onto paticular cores. Could you be more specific how 
you achieve this?

Thanks,
Teng

Hi Steve,
I used another command from someone other's post:

export GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY="0 1 2 3"

It works.
Thanks,
Yanqi

Hi Yanqi,

I don't have any idea why the command you tried isn't working.  Did you try it 
on a real system?

I've never done this myself, I just looked it up on google.

Hi Steve,
I tried
taskset -pc 0 ./astar & taskset -pc 1 ./bzip
but the program terminates early.
Can you show me the exact command I should use?

Thanks,
Yanqi

If you're in FS mode, then thread scheduling is controlled by Linux.  You can 
run as many programs as you want, just like on a real Linux system, and if you 
have more runnable threads than cores, they will be time-sliced by the kernel 
using its internal thread scheduling algorithm.

Your ability to bind threads to cores is the same as on a real Linux system, 
e.g., see:
http://linux.die.net/man/2/sched_setaffinity
http://linux.die.net/man/1/taskset

Hi,

Depends on whether you're running them in SE mode or FS mode. In SE mode, you 
can simply specify the benchmark you want to run with the following command 
line options:

./gem5.opt config/example/se.py -c "<path to astar>;<path to bzip>" -o "<astar 
options>;<bzip options>" --num-cpus 2

I am not sure about FS mode, hope this helps.

Best,
Zheng

Hi Everyone,
How can I run multiple different programs on different cores? For example, I 
need to run "astar" and "bzip" on two different cores, and gather traces for 
each of the tow.
Can anyone share me some tips running multi-programs?

Thanks,
Yanqi
