I used it for x86. However, simpoints are platform independent, they just tell u about representative regions of the programs/ benchmarks.
Look into pinpoints from Intel. Its a free tool. See their isca2014 ppt.. you will get started in just an hour. After getting bbv files u need to run simpoints tool from ucsd which i think is also old. Look into pinpoints isca2014 ppt... they have also given the command lines to generate whole programs pinballs, bbv file and simpoints.. Hope that helps. -hassan On Jul 6, 2017 2:00 AM, "Mukherjee, Somnath" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Hassan, Thanks for the information. So which processor you used it for – x86? When you said the following: > Its old and very very slow method and i am not sure that it works or not. Do you mean that BBV generation process is slow on gem5? Will it work okay, if I already have the BBV generated?

I have used simpoints with gem5. However i used pinplay to generate simpoints for the benchmarks. Gem5 is not recommended for generating simpoints. Its old and very very slow method and i am not sure that it works or not. -Hassan On Jul 5, 2017 8:59 PM, "Mukherjee, Somnath" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Mahmood, Thanks a lot for the link.
