This is weird; it never took me more than 20 seconds to generate a single 
checkpoint in gem5.
I suspect most of the time is spent on draining the system.

Would you be able to debug which draining method is stalling the checkpointing 
process?

Kind Regards

Giacomo

Subject: [gem5-users] Slow checkpoint creation
Hi everyone,

I recently returned to gem5 and tried to create SimPoints for SPEC and other 
workloads on ARM architecture.

gem5 works great as usual, but I am curious why it takes 10~30 mins to write 
just a single checkpoint. The simulated system has 16 GB DRAM. Typically taking 
a snapshot of a similar system spends just a couple of minutes if we use 
VMware, QEMU, or other hypervisors.

Is there anyone who dug into this issue?

Thanks,
Hanhwi
