Hi Everyone,
I know this question has been asked frequently now, but after looking
through tons of documentation and the mail-archive threads I am still not
clear at all how to get SPEC CPU2000 working on M5. Is it possible to find a
complete guideline/how_to that explains from source_code -> running (at
least in SE)?
I have the CD and downloaded everything to my Ubuntu VM (where I have M5).
Since I've always used pre-compiled spec binaries I have never tried to
cross-compile the source code and it seems that a bunch of tools are needed
for it (for which the installation fails on my system) even if I just want
to cross-compile the source code using the alpha-gcc cross compiler given
the M5 wikipage.
Thefore, in the case that i can't be redirected to a guidelin/how_to of some
sort, does anyone know how to succesfully do the following?:
1) Cross-compile SPEC CPU2000 benchmarks for ALPHA or at least get the
binaries.
2) Run SPEC CPU 2000 in SE. Since I don't have the binaries I haven't been
able to try out the example given at the page
$ build/ALPHA_SE/m5.debug configs/example/se.py
--cmd=eon00 --options="chair.control.cook
chair.camera chair.surfaces chair.cook.ppm ppm pixels_out.cook"
Does it work? I really don't wish to use cpu2000.py since
I want to run SMT and multicore SMT configurations in SE mode.
3) For SMT and multicore SMT configurtions would the above example
(considering that it works for 1 CPU 1 Thread) work by just replicating the
workload as processes and assiging them to each thread per cpu? Just as the
hello_world example?
4) For the configuration in 3) , does SIMPOINT/FastFwd work?
I am trying to run this benchmarks as my last resort for my course project
due this week (and also for further research) since other benchmarks such as
ALPBench and PARSEC run fine in singlethreaded mode but, when trying to do
multicore, SMT or both they abort and fail and I haven't been able to fix it
yet.
I am running out of time and I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks
