Hi Steve,

If I just do allocateMem and don't do 'writeBlob', then simulation runs
fine without errors but I get '0' values in the result. This is
understandable. But If I do writeBlob then I always get page fault
exception exactly at the same clock tick (just before the benchmark
finishing the execution)

Regards,
