Hi Zacharia, The workloads were tuned inside the Simics environment, in which IPC is fixed to 1.
Hope this helps.

Just to make my question more clear, I imagine that you could use a real server machine (e.g. Xeon X5670) and tune the workloads for max throughput on that machine and then port the benchmark configuration and inputs to simics enviroment. Or you could just do the tuning from the simics enviroment with some specific hardware settings for the simulated machine. So if it is the first case what was the machine you used and if it is the second case what is the CPI and the settings of the simulated machine? Thanks - Zacharias Hadjilambrou
