It sounds like there is a memory leak somewhere. Could you run it through valgrind? You find a suppression file in the util dir.

My host workstation has: 16 GB DRAM 12 SMT cpu cores The OS (64 bit RHEL 6) killed the gem5.opt which had been running "facesim" (parsec, simmedium) for 2 days because the gem5.opt simulator used up even the swap space. I just launched a SINGLE gem5.opt simulator with this configuration: ./build/X86_MESI_CMP_directory/gem5.opt \ configs/example/ruby_fs.py -n 4 \ --cpu-type=detailed \ --mem-size=512MB \ --kernel=x86_64-vmlinux-2.6.22.9.smp \ --script=parsec-run-facesim.rcS \ --caches \ --l1d_size=32kB \ --l1i_size=32kB \ --l1d_assoc=8 \ --l1i_assoc=8 \ --cacheline_size=64 \ --l2cache \ --l2_size=1MB \ --l2_assoc=16 \ --cacheline_size=64 Do I just need to add much more DRAM? In other words, is it a normal symptom? Best regards, Suk chan Kang -- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
