Hi Poorna, The script that I wrote to generate the bash scripts to run these benchmarks assumes that you are doing fastforward into the simulation with an atomic cpu, and then switching to timing or detailed simulation right before executing the parsec benchmark. The bash script has a line of code (/sbin/m5 switchcpu), which signals the simulator to make the CPU switch, but if you have not specified that you are doing fastforwarding, it will immediately exit with this message. If you remove this line of code from the rcS, it should not exit before executing the benchmark. Good luck, Joel
