Hi Simone,

The method does not exist in Python. Remember that essential all objects in 
gem5 have both a Python object (used for setting parameters mostly), and a C++ 
object (actually involved in the simulation).

In general you should either use full-system and leave the DVFS to the OS (I 
would say this is the most sensible), or use a subclass of the DVFSHandler 
where you implement the decision making in hardware.

Good luck.

Andreas

Subject: [gem5-users] Dynamic frequency change

Dear all,

I'm trying to dynamically change the clock frequency, and I noticed that the 
SrcClockDomain object has a clockPeriod(Tick) method that automatically 
forwards its changes to the children objects (as per the method documentation). 
Thus, I included in the Simulate.py script, within the repeatSwitch() method 
the following line (at appropriate point):

testsys.cpu_clk_domain.clockPeriod(4000)

However, while executing Python complains that

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/imec/gem5/gem5/src/python/m5/main.py", line 388, in main
    exec filecode in scope
  File "../configs/example/se.py", line 278, in <module>
    Simulation.run(options, root, system, FutureClass)
  File "/home/imec/gem5/gem5/configs/common/Simulation.py", line 728, in run
    maxtick, options.repeat_switch)
  File "/home/imec/gem5/gem5/configs/common/Simulation.py", line 451, in 
repeatSwitch
    testsys.cpu_clk_domain.clockPeriod(4000)
  File "/home/imec/gem5/gem5/src/python/m5/SimObject.py", line 1103, in 
__getattr__
    raise AttributeError, err_string
AttributeError: object 'SrcClockDomain' has no attribute 'clockPeriod'

while it is clear that clockPeriod is present in the SrClockDomain object.

Am I missing somethng? How to fix this?

Thanks
Best regards

Simone
