Thanks Jason .
I think I should have been more specific in my question: I understand how "LiveProcess" objects are created for each application and how each single threaded workload is assigned to a CPU. The loop in se.py that does the workload to CPU assignments either expects the number of specified applications to be equal to the number of cores, or expects only one application. In case of only one application and if #CPUs > 1 , it assigns the same app to all cores (line 237) . To be clear this is the code excerpt I'm referring to: =============================== 233 for i in xrange(np): 234 if options.smt: 235 system.cpu[i].workload = multiprocesses 236 elif len(multiprocesses) == 1: 237 system.cpu[i].workload = multiprocesses[0] 238 else: 239 system.cpu[i].workload = multiprocesses[i] =============================== First of all, how is line 237 not causing that np copies of multiprocesses[0] to run but instead just 1 runs ? I'm trying to understand how I can create enough hardware context without assigning a workload to all of them. I modified the loop to run just for the number of given applications by replacing "for i in xrange(np):" with "for i in xrange(len(multiprocesses)):", but it throws an error which I believe means I should somehow assign a workload to all CPUs : =============================== fatal: Must specify at least one workload! @ tick 0 [create:build/ARM/cpu/o3/deriv.cc, line 48] =============================== Hope my question is clear.
