Hi Fulya,
The m5-mcpat.pl and mcpat-template.xml on the website
https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~acr31/sicsa/ work for me with some modification.
1. First, you should make sure the all the value field in the
mcpat-template.xml can be found in the stats.txt or config.ini files.
Otherwise, modify them according to these two files generated by Gem5.
For example:
change <stat name="memory_reads" value="{stats.system.l2.ReadReq_misses}"/>
to <stat name="memory_reads"
value="{stats.system.l2.ReadReq_misses::total}"/>
Because we can not find ReadReq_misses in stats.txt. Instead, there is
ReadReq_misses::total in the stats.txt.
2. The other thing is to modify m5-mcpat.pl to deal with *nan* and *inf* in
stats.txt. Otherwise, there will be error like: Failed to parse stats
system.physmem.writeRowHitRate nan
The perl file is pretty easy to understand and modify.
change :
sub loadStats() {
my ($result,$file) = ({},@_);
open(WORKING,"<$file") or die "Failed to open stats file $file\n";
while(my $line = <WORKING>) {
chomp($line);
if ($line =~ /^(\S+)\s+([\d\.\-]+|no_value)\s/) {
$result->{$1} = $2;
}
to:
sub loadStats() {
my ($result,$file) = ({},@_);
open(WORKING,"<$file") or die "Failed to open stats file $file\n";
while(my $line = <WORKING>) {
chomp($line);
if ($line =~ /^(\S+)\s+([\d\.\-]+*|non|inf*)\s/) {
$result->{$1} = $2;
}
Also, if you want to set the fields that do not have value in the
stats file to Zero.
You could change:
if ($r eq "") {
print STDERR "Warning: empty result for $f\n";
}
return eval $e;
to
if ($r eq "") {
print STDERR "Warning: empty result for $f\n";
*$e = 0*
}
return eval $e;
Hope that helps.
Best!
