Hi Ali and GEM5 Users I have tried again and could boot both ALPHA and X86, as follows: > Time to shell prompt at ALPHA: 0m38.826s (running on [Intel i7 Extreme]@[3.33GHz+16GB RAM]) $ cd /home/user/gem5; export M5_PATH=/home/user/gem5; time ./build/ALPHA/gem5.opt --outdir=/tmp/output ./configs/e

Hi Ali I am a very new user and after your answer I tried the following simulations: 1) I have tried to simulate X86 boot in FS mode using --cpu-type=atomic all the time, and running only a "hello program", for 1165m59.515s with no success or any error message. 2) I have also tried to simulate A

Hello Please As I am trying to run X86 FS from a long time and i am blocked So I have some questions: Do you type any commands (e.g. for mounting the disk image) before starting booting (build/X86/gem5.opt configs/example/fs.py --kernel=x86_64-vmlinux-2.6. 22.9.smp --cpu-type=detailed --l2cache --c

All models should boot in <1h, although there is no particularly good reason to boot the OS with the O3 cpu. Normally people boot linux with a atomic simple CPU, take a checkpoint and then switch to the O3 cpu to run their application of interest. We have regression tests that run weekly using

Hi Anderson I think that now I understand your question because I have tried to simulate the "hello" test program (that comes with GEM5) using gem5.opt for the first time at FS Alpha and FS x86, and the surprising results are: Architecture Simulation Time(*) -

Hi Anderson Q.: I really want to understand: why doesn't a configuration with 4 O3CPU boot the system? But other works fine. A.: It seems a problem related to x86 simulation and I don´t use to do that, but make sure that it doesn´t work with both 32 and 64 bit kernels as a way to try to isolate t

Hi, Romulo. I didn't explain correct my problem, in my last message. There is no problem with ALPHA. But, X86 doesn't boot with 4 O3CPU, the other cpus work fine, but 03CPU doesn't. Yesterday, I started a boot: build/X86/gem5.opt configs/example/fs.py --kernel=x86_64-vmlinux-2.

Hi Anderson Because of Alpha was the basis architecture for M5, I suppose it is also valid for any cpu architecture: (from FAQ at http://www.m5sim.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_many_CPUs_can_M5_run.3F) How many CPUs can M5 run? - There is no inherent limit in M5 (other than simulation s

The boot process works fine until 4 cpus (in my case O3CPU), in X86 and ALPHA. But when I used more than 4, the boot don't finish (in X86 and ALPHA). I used the last gem5-stable version, and the last gem5 avaliables. The last time that I tried to boot 8 03CPU, the boot took 15 hours to boot only
