Hello Lisa, With 2 cpus works fine, but when I put more than 2 I get the same error but now the number in getCount() is the double of the number of cpus, before was the same number than the number of cpus. I have tried several configurations and in all of them is the same.
Before -> 4 cores, getCount = 4 Now -> 4 cores, getcount = 8 I believe that I have applied the patch properly, what I did was go to the directory of m5 and execute: patch -p1 < fix.patch and this is the output: Hunk #1 succeeded at 122 (offset -9 lines). Thank you. 2008/12/15 Lisa Hsu <[email protected]>: > Try the attached patch. > > To anyone interested: > > for the initial switch from atomic to timing is set at > cpu[i].max_insts_any_thread = 1, for all cpu=i. the idea for > max_insts_any_thread is that when the first cpu hits that value, an exit > event is scheduled - but since in this case all N cores hit 1 in the exact > same cycle, 4 exit events are scheduled. > > so after the switch to timing, the first exit event has been dealt with but > there are still 3 more, which essentially kill your attempts to drain. > > this is a pretty silly fix, making the initial atomic phase last 100 insts > just to reduce the probability that this will never happen again, but > doesn't rigorously remove that possibility. if anyone has a better idea of > how to fix this let me know. > > Lisa > > On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 9:44 AM, Lisa Hsu <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> I'm working on this.
