Hello All, I have submitted a chain of patches which enables gem5 to simulate a cluster on multiple physical hosts:
http://reviews.gem5.org/r/2909/ http://reviews.gem5.org/r/2910/ http://reviews.gem5.org/r/2912/ http://reviews.gem5.org/r/2913/ http://reviews.gem5.org/r/2914/ <http://reviews.gem5.org/r/2914/> and a patch that contains run scripts for a simple experiment: http://reviews.gem5.org/r/2915/ We have run several benchmarks using this infrastructure, including NAS parallel benchmarks (MPI) and DCBench-hadoop (http://prof.ict.ac.cn/DCBench/), and would be happy to share scripts/diskimages. We call this *pd-gem5*. *pd-gem5 *functionality is more or less the same as Curtis's patch for *multi-gem5.* However, I feel *pd-gem5 *network model is more thorough; it also enables modeling different network topologies. Having both set of changes together let reviewers to pick best features from both works. Thank you, Mohammad Alian _______________________________________________ gem5-dev mailing list gem5-dev@gem5.org http://m5sim.org/mailman/listinfo/gem5-dev
