Hi, I am running parsec on X86, using gem5-stable-07352f119e48. I am using the precompiled Parsec image and kernel image provided on Parsec website. I have seen an obvious imbalance in the cpu statistics (such as IPS) even for the 2 core case. To bind each thread to a core, thus to make sure they are balanced, I want to use "set affinity" functionality. I have some questions regarding that: 1) Is there a way to do that for all the Parsec benchmarks without recompiling anything? 2) What are some options that I can follow? 3) I found this thread suggesting to use export GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY="0 1 2 3" http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04627.html But it also says I can only use it with OpenMP benchmarks, which deos not cover all Parsec benchmarks. If I am restoring from a checkpoint, can I still use that command (because I assume that command should be put into the .rcS file which is executed upon kernel boot) ? Could anyone help me on those issues? Best, Fulya Kaplan
