Thanks Mohammad, I tried and got the following in the log(log.switch) (below), I also did try using different orders in the parameters, what should I look for now?

Use "--dist-sync-start" option to start synchronization before send tick (4428354726000). You should pass this option to all gem5 processes (FS nodes + switch node). So you should set --dist-sync-start as a "--cf-args" argument in your launch script: --cf-args --dist-sync-start=1000000000000 Best, Mohammad On Fri, Dec 8, 2017 at 12:36 PM, Vitorio Cargnini (lcargnini) <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thanks Mohammad I made some changes and attempted again, it worked but for some reason it simplies … dies after a while, not sure why.

There can be so many reasons that a gem5 process fails to run. If you print the content of switch.log here then I can help. Regarding "distributed run", you first need to setup passwordless ssh between your simulation (physical) hosts and then use "LSB_MCPU_HOSTS" env variable to assign gem5 processes to physical hosts. E.g. if your simulated cluster size is 8 and you want to run 4 gem5 processes on host_name0 and 4 on host_name1, then your LSB_MCPU_HOSTS looks like this: export LSB_MCPU_HOSTS="host_name0 4 host_name1 4" Best, Mohammad On Tue, Dec 5, 2017 at 6:03 PM, Vitorio Cargnini (lcargnini) <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hello, Please, what exactly do I need to run dist-gem5 with the –-dist? I’m trying, however it fails with “Failed ot start switch” Also, what do I need in place for it start distributed acroos nodes, instead of launching multiple/parallel runs in the ‘localhost’.
