An interesting thing that I found when analyzing GEM5 output, is that core 7 hits the reset stats after core 0 finishes, this happens in very special scenario if scheduling favorites a core over another, so now this makes sense.

How reset stats work in case of multicore ?
I run multicore experiment with 8 cores running the same binary.
The binary has m5_reset_stats(0,0); before code of interest which is a loop that runs huge number of iterations (for example 100k ~ access 781kB of data ,in case of double type item is accessed each loop iteration)) .
The results sometimes appear to be fine , i.e. numCycles per all cores are almost equal
But in other situations, with same code but applying different memory scheduling technique , some cores have 0 "system.cpux.numCycles", even that in GEM5 output I can see that the corresponding code is working and produces the desired output per each
core!
Is it expected , Should I use reset stats in different way ?
Thank you.
