Hi Dr. Bruce, Thank you for your reply. In order to create checkpoints do I need to use MOESI hammer protocol or classic caches?

You'll need to change the "on_exit_event" parameter when constructing the Simulator. Something like this: ``` ... def create_checkpoint(): m5.checkpoint("<path to checkpoint>") simulator = Simulator( board=board, on_exit_event={ ExitEvent.EXIT : (func() for func in [processor.switch]), ExitEvent.CHECKPOINT: (func() for func in [create_checkpoint]), }, ... ``` Note here we're saying on the first EXIT (m5 exit) exit event we're switching cores, and on the first CHECKPOINT(m5 checkpoint) exit event we're creating the checkpoint. -- Dr. Bobby R.
