Hi Everyone, Gabe's heroic effort to refresh the reference stats (thanks Gabe!) have once again highlighted issues in the current test regime.
My impression is that some of the affected tests are only marginally useful. Especially for architecture that are largely unmaintained. I don't want to rekindle the discussion about retiring ISAs. However, I would suggest that we reduce the amount of time we spend testing these ISAs. In particular, I would like to see these changes: 1. Remove all SPEC-based tests for poorly supported ISAs 2. Remove stat diffing for all remaining tests for poorly supported ISAs. 3. Remove stat diffing for the learning gem5 tests. We mainly want to make sure that these scripts can be run. 4. Consider removing O3 (and minor?) tests for poorly supported ISAs I would argue that "poorly supported ISAs" would be the following: * SPARC * POWER * MIPS * ALPHA? Thoughts? //Andreas IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
