Hi all, I would like to get everyone's thought on adding an optional supplementary stats file to gem5 in addition to the stats.txt file which we have today. The idea is to have a supplementary stats file which will be generated only if we explicitly pass a command line option to generate it.
The rationale behind having such a supplementary stats file is to push the not so commonly used stats out of the stats.txt file. Thus, the stats.txt file can be kept simple/clean/small with only the important (or most commonly used) statistics. In addition to making it more readable, we are also avoiding the size explosion problem of the stats.txt file. If a user needs to look into stats which are not available in the stats.txt, she can always pass the command line option to generate the supplementary stats file. The supplementary stats file will have all the remaining statistics which are available in gem5 but not printed in stats.txt file. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
