hi steve.
i think there is effect because, every time i run simulation i check the
config.ini file. In config.ini under workload there is simpoint value. when
ever i run simulation i check config.ini to make sure what ever values i
used in configuration file is used by m5 or not.

This is what i found in config.ini file and there is simpoint value in it,
so i am thinking it is using simpoint value.
[system.cpu.workload]
type=LiveProcess
cmd=/home/pavanj/linux-alpha-input/gcc/gcc_base.alpha.static
/home/pavanj/linux-alpha-input/gcc/expr2.i -o
/home/pavanj/linux-alpha-input/gcc/expr2.s
cwd=
egid=100
env=
errout=cerr
euid=100
executable=/home/pavanj/linux-alpha-input/gcc/gcc_base.alpha.static
gid=100
input=cin
max_stack_size=67108864
output=expr2.out
pid=100
ppid=99
simpoint=600000000   // so i am thinking m5 is using simpoint.
system=system
uid=100
0

Could please let me know is there any other way to find, what ever the
configuration i set is used by M5


thanks,
Pavan
