I'm using the current development repository. I'd recommend against
using stable. The original idea was that it would be more stable
alternative to the development repository, but it hasn't been updated
in a long time and is now really just old. It looks like it was last
updated 16 months ago.
What is your corrected command line? The problems I saw would have
prevented anything from running at all, but your stats file shows that
the simulator ran for a while (218 seconds) before stopping. It looks
like the CPU fetched a lot of instructions and was not idle
(not_idle_fraction is 1) but no instructions actually completed. The
itb shows all fetch_hits suggesting that the simulation never actually
used translation (or else at least the first access would miss) and
was executing out of physical addresses. I think that's indicative of
PAL mode, but I'm not an Alpha expert.
I'd guess that some condition is preventing the very first instruction
from executing, and any subsequent instruction used to correct the
problem or otherwise. The CPU spins forever or until it hits some
obstruction like the end of memory, trying over and over to execute
something that will never get through. You could try turning on the
O3CPUAll trace flag and see what happens to the instructions that
prevents them from executing, and whether they seem to make sense, ie.
the instruction memory isn't always all 0s or all Fs. You'll want to
send the output to a file and only let it run for a second or two. I
expect even that will give you much more output than you'll really need.

Hello Gabe,
The version iam using is m5-stable which i downloaded from m5
repository. I am
wondering what is the version you are using and if that could have
anything to
do with the error ? I do apologize for the typos in my command line. I double
checked as you advised me (double checked the command line) and
still getting
the same problem.
