I've never seen this problem before, and the BBench source for eBay does not show anything called ewbay in the source, so I don't know how it's getting redirected to that URL. Did you modify the BBench source in any way? Can you send me your exact command line? And, can you tell me the exact URL th

Hi, I wanted to experiment with the number of slots each resource has been assigned. However, when I look into the code of pipeline_stage.cc, I see that slots are being freed before instructions from the same stage are being processed. Doesn't this contradict the usage of the slots? In a fir

Hi all, I am having a problem with a setup that used to work. The important flag is --garnet-network, without which everything works just fine. Versions from before Sep 05 in the dev repo were working, unfortunately I don't have the exact commit when it stopped working; if nobody has an idea what

I started a BBench run this morning with a fresh check out of the latest dev repo, the Android kernel and an unmodified Gingerbread disk image with BBench, both from gem5.org/bbench-gem5. I do not see this problem, eBay renders fine and the simulation continues. I will need more info on your setup/

Hi all, Running a benchmark on gem5, I have obtained the number of busy and idle cycles at each tick. Using an offline algorithm,  I have applied windowing on this data set and have calculated the number of busy cycles in each window of fixed size (e.g. 20 busy cycles in widow size of 100 cycl

Hi Arthur: interesting, I don't recall seeing this behavior in my experiments (it seems to happen very soon). Can you share a little bit more about your setup, so I could try to reproduce this issue? Are you running an unmodified gem5 model? Thanks, -Andrea On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 12:11 PM, Arth

Hi Mike, I made some modifications myself to support SMT on O3 on X86. After applying this patch (http://reviews.gem5.org/r/1281/#review2999) I had no issued running SMT in SE mode -- at least in my tests. -Andrea On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 10:02 AM, Yuval H. Nacson < yhnac...@tx.technion.ac.il> wrot

Hi Andrea, At first I noticed this issue on a modified model. However, as I said the issue comes from the way branching is detected in IEW by calling the PCState.branching() function (at least I understand it that way), which is unmodified in my model. Furthermore, I just tried on the latest

Hi Max, The number of slots each resource is being given is in resource_pool.cc in the constructor. EAch resource is defined and assigned a user-defined number of slots. Slots are only freed in a resource after an instruction makes a request to that resources, the resource accepts that request, an

Hi, I am fairly new to gem5 as well but I managed to get this done by reading through this thread (http://www.digipedia.pl/usenet/thread/11778/1757/). You'll have to change the se.py script to run different workloads in different cpu. I am not sure what you mean by mesh technology though.

Hi Arthur, let me download the latest version of gem5 and try it. Do you run 401.bzip2 without arguments? In my runs I usually invoke it w/ some command line arguments such as: 401.bzip2: - test: ./bzip2 input.program 5 > input.program.out 2>> input.program.err; ./bzip2 dryer.jpg 2 > dryer

Hi All, Actually the main issue comes from the fact that the mispredicted() function detect a misprediction by comparing the PredPC and the NextPC in terms of PCstate objects. Thus the comparison involve both the PC and the uPC and it is able to detect the branch misprediction inside a macroo
