Hi Sreya,

I am not sure what you expect to change. The miss rate between two identical 
gem5 runs?

gem5 takes great care to make sure simulations are deterministic. That means we 
always seed the global random number generator with the same value, we never 
iterate over pointer-based containers, etc. Thus, you will always get the same 
results when running the same gem5 command twice.

Thus, the simulator is completely deterministic, and if you want to “shake 
things up” I suggest you do it inside the simulated system. Add some delay in 
your program for example.

Does that answer your question?

Andreas

Subject: [gem5-users] Random Replacement Policy

The miss rates should change when using random replacement policy right?since 
random value is chosen.
Why is constant? Please somebody reply.
