I think you're wrong on point 2... max_insts_all_threads runs each thread for *at least* the specified number, and does not terminate individual threads early. There's no option right now that does terminate individual threads without terminating the entire simulation, largely because in my opinion that's kind of meaningless (for the reasons you explain in point 2). I can take a crack at updating the FAQ later if you don't get to it. > > If there is a better place for this text to go, please, someone let me know. Overall I think our FAQ is way too big and should be reorganized into normal topical documentation, but this particular question isn't any worse than any other.
