Hi, I am looking at instruction counts that are output in m5stats.txt for a couple simulations that I have run. I am using ALPHA_FS with the detailed core, and I am confused about the values that are output. In m5stats.txt, the value 'sim_insts' claims to the the number of instructions simulated. On further inspection, each of the cores also has commit statistics that include 'commit.COM:count', 'commit.commitCommittedInsts', 'committedInsts' and 'committedInsts_total'. I tried tracing through the code where these counters are updated, and some of them seem to be redundant. The problem that I am having is that when I sum any of these commit statistics over the set of cores, none of them are equal to 'sim_insts'. In fact, the difference is usually 5-10x. I am hoping someone could shed some light on the discrepency, and let me know the purpose of all these seemingly redundant counters. Thanks, Joel
