Hi Monir, If you want to create representative CPU-model configurations I would encourage you to go for something more modern (and relevant) than the T1.
To avoid unnecessary pain, I would also recommend to stick to ARM or X86 (mainly to have a modern software stack/toolchain and overall gem5 support), but the choice is of course entirely yours. Finally, when it comes to power modelling, I would suggest something like http://www.powmon.ecs.soton.ac.uk, which is well supported in gem5, and far more reliable (and relevant) than McPAT.

The Minor CPU doesn’t work for the SPARC ISA (https://www.mail-archive.com/gem5-users%40gem5.org/msg13256.html). But for my objective, I need to do detailed performance simulation for SPARC and generate power numbers in McPAT for the simulation. Reading the paper, it seemed like it was easier to modify the O3 model rather than changing the InOrder (which is MinorCPU now) CPU according to the author. The reason I asked is, I have run the SPARC ISA on O3 CPU detailed simulation, but since it is Out of Order, it doesn’t necessarily represent the actual T1. Do I have any other reasonable options?
