Hi,
with most of nofib, one expects at least the Allocation numbers to be
reliably and deterministic. This is not the case with cacheprof, they
seem to wibble around by ~0.2%, which is strange.
Has anyone else noticed this yes, and if so, tried to find out the
cause? Is it expected and desired, or a bug somewhere?
It is neither expected nor desired, and if you could do anything to
diagnose it further that would be great.
Sometimes programs do things like generate a random temporary filename,
and that can lead to non-deterministic allocation. If this program is
doing something like that, we should fix it so it doesn't.
Cheers,
Simon
