Hello,
I am running splash2 benchmarks, with the same configuration in m5 beta
3 and 4. Here is a snapshot of the m5stats.txt for overall l2 stats.
With Beta 4:
-------------------
system.l2.overall_accesses 8683 #
number of overall (read+write) accesses
system.l2.overall_avg_miss_latency 0 #
average overall miss latency
system.l2.overall_avg_mshr_miss_latency <err: div-0> #
average overall mshr miss latency
system.l2.overall_avg_mshr_uncacheable_latency <err: div-0>
# average overall mshr uncacheable latency
system.l2.overall_hits 2560 #
number of overall hits
system.l2.overall_miss_latency 0 #
number of overall miss cycles
system.l2.overall_miss_rate 0.705171 #
miss rate for overall accesses
system.l2.overall_misses 6123 #
number of overall misses
system.l2.overall_mshr_hits 0 #
number of overall MSHR hits
system.l2.overall_mshr_miss_latency 0 #
number of overall MSHR miss cycles
system.l2.overall_mshr_miss_rate 0 #
mshr miss rate for overall accesses
system.l2.overall_mshr_misses 0 #
number of overall MSHR misses
system.l2.overall_mshr_uncacheable_latency 0 #
number of overall MSHR uncacheable cycles
system.l2.overall_mshr_uncacheable_misses 0 #
number of overall MSHR uncacheable misses
With beta 3:
------------------
system.l2.overall_accesses 1076225 #
number of overall (read+write) accesses
system.l2.overall_avg_miss_latency 0 #
average overall miss latency
system.l2.overall_avg_mshr_miss_latency <err: div-0> #
average overall mshr miss latency
system.l2.overall_avg_mshr_uncacheable_latency <err: div-0>
# average overall mshr uncacheable latency
system.l2.overall_hits 477093 #
number of overall hits
system.l2.overall_miss_latency 0 #
number of overall miss cycles
system.l2.overall_miss_rate 0.556698 #
miss rate for overall accesses
system.l2.overall_misses 599132 #
number of overall misses
system.l2.overall_mshr_hits 0 #
number of overall MSHR hits
system.l2.overall_mshr_miss_latency 0 #
number of overall MSHR miss cycles
system.l2.overall_mshr_miss_rate 0 #
mshr miss rate for overall accesses
system.l2.overall_mshr_misses 0 #
number of overall MSHR misses
system.l2.overall_mshr_uncacheable_latency 0 #
number of overall MSHR uncacheable cycles
system.l2.overall_mshr_uncacheable_misses 0 #
number of overall MSHR uncacheable misses
With beta 4, it seems that the number of accesses are lesser, cache hits/misses
are different. All other parameters have been kept the same (num_cpus, L1, L2
sizes, DRAM size, etc).
Why this difference?
