[gem5-users] X86 full system with mutlicore

Dear M5, I'm now trying to simulate a full system with more than 1 core (CPU). With image x86_64-vmlinux-2.6.22.9, I got following messages in m5term: markcup:~/Gem5/m5_new$ ./build/X86_FS/m5.debug configs/example/fs.py -n 4 m5 slave terminal: Terminal 0 Linux version 2.6.22.9

Re: [gem5-users] Question about checkpoint

Hi Atieh, This is a tricky question to answer, because it depends on a lot of other configuration parameters. If you are using the ALPHA or x86 architectures, I know that checkpointing works for both SE and FS. The other architectures might also work, but I'd have to defer to others on the

[gem5-users] InOrder ALPHA SE. Confusion about implementation of the ActivityRecorder

Hi All, I am working with the InOrder CPU model for ALPHA ISA in SE mode. I have attached a monitoring unit, parallel to the main InOrder CPU pipeline. This monitoring unit is itself pipelined and am making use of the another instantiation of the TimeBufferStruct to communicate between its
