Hello All, Has anyone had success running the Splash2 benchmarks on M5 in SE mode? I've read through a lot of the posts on this type of subject and it looks like maybe as of Sep/Oct last year, it's best to run in FS mode because of the lack of pthreads and PARMACS support in SE. Is that still the case?
Here's what I have tried so-far. I have built M5 on my Linux box and I'm running Alpha Linux in SE. I have cross-compiled the Splash2 benchmarks for Alpha. I used the configs/example/se.py as a starting point to call the various benchmarks. The first problem I ran into was that _sysctl wasn't emulated. The second problem I ran into (with benchmarks that don't appear to call _sysctl or if I tell the emulation to ignore sysctl) is a page table fault. I also tried running the pre-compiled Splash2 benchmarks from the m5 dist page (v1-splash-alpha.tgz), but I'm having the same problem with those as with the benchmarks that I cross compiled myself. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to be able to run the benchmarks in SE, but if that's not possible, I suppose I could brave the FS world... Regards, -Edith
