Hi Korey, In response to what you suggested in your earlier reply: "As for SPARC, make sure that once you compile that you account for the # of registers needed (incl. register windows). An assertion will be triggered if that's not configured correctly. But the implementation of SMT otherwise should be ISA independent."
I should take care of the above in the config.ini file, right? Would you happen to know if there is an example of such a test configuration in the current dev or stable branch? The stable version that I downloaded (I noticed that the stable branch has been updated 17 hours ago) does not have any test/example with such a configuration. regards, Soumyaroop.
