Hi,
I am trying to run two simple workloads "Hello World" in two independent
CPUs which have different frequencies.
At first when I set CPU0'clock to "2GHz" and CPU1's clock to
"3GHz", everything seems to work fine.
But when I changed CPU1's clock from "3GHz" to "1GHz", there is only one
program has been executed.
If I changed CPU1's clock to "4GHz", it also only one program executed.

Can different CPUs run at any different frequencies in m5? Any suggestion
would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Jerry
