Hi M5 developers, I have read your paper, "Analyzing NIC Overheads in Network-Intensive Workloads". I have two questions with the M5 benchmarks. 1. Can M5 communicate with real hosts through the network? I find that there is a NAT box in some benchmarks. And the paper above mentions that "For our NAT configurations, we simply placed another machine between the server and client to act as a NAT machine." It seems that the virtual sytem can communicate with the real hosts. But I find I can not communicate with real hosts under my M5 (I have changed the IP config- uration under the virtual Linux system). Could you tell me whether M5 can communicate with real hosts through the network? If it can, please tell me how to implement it.
2. How to get the profile informations? In the paper, you break down the CPU utilization into 8 sections, idle, other, user and so on. Could you tell me how to get those profile informations? By M5 itself, or other profile tools such as oprofile? Thanks a lot. Richard R.
