Hi, I am trying to simulate ALPHA in FS mode (with 4 cores and 8 cores, OoO cpu) to run SPLASH2 and PARSEC benchamrks. The applications run fine, however whenever I am checking the *numCycles *value of the CPUs in the Stats.txt file, I can see that not all the cpus are active at all times. Especially inside a pthread_barrier_wait() statement. Also, for 8 cores and 7 threads, I am getting 5 active cores but the active cores change dynamically. I am trying to understand the activity pattern of the cores during a simulation by looking at the numCycles value of the cpus. Is there any way to bind the threads to particular cores, other than using pthread cpu affinity function?
