Thanks for the input. I figured out your were "synchronizing" with mkfifo. This seems to be the simplest way to connect the script to the benchmark application. I'm not sure how to execute "m5 exit" from within an application (.apk). From a compiled native (C) application it would certainly be easy to execute arbitrary commands; however, from inside the Android sandbox, I'm not sure if it is possible to access commands like "ls/m5", etc... It will be good to have an ICS kernel/image, we've already started on some Renderscript benchmarks. It would be nice to get those up and running on gem5, to compare ndk/sdk/Renderscript performance characteristics. _______________________________________________ gem5-users mailing list [email protected] http://m5sim.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gem5-users
