[gem5-users] GCN3 GPU Simulation Start-Up Time

[Daniel Gerzhoy via gem5-users]

I've been running simulations using the GCN3 branch:

rocm_ver=1.6.2
$git branch
   * (HEAD detached at d0945dc)
      agutierr/master-gcn3-staging

And I've noticed that it takes roughly 7-8 minutes to get to main()

I'm guessing that this is the simulator setting up drivers?
Is that correct? Is there other stuff going on?

*Has anyone found a way to speed this up? *

I am trying to get some of the rodinia benchmarks from the HIP-Examples
running and debugging takes a long time as a result.

I suspect that this is unavoidable but I won't know if I don't ask!

Cheers,

Dan Gerzhoy
