For all my CPUs I have a > similar low number. Because you probably switched from one cpu type to another in your simulation. If you started with an atomic CPU and immediately transitioned to a timing CPU, the atomic CPU probably only executed 2 instructions

They are different CPUs (in this case before and after the switch respectively) > > > - What is commit.COM:loads?, is the number of accesses to the memory? The number of committed loads that were executed (this doesn't include issued and subsequently squashed loads because of miss speculation).
