Is it possible to run a multiprogram simulation with more than 128
cores? Using a slightly modified se.py and running in simple timing
mode, I've tried to run the hello world default benchmark on 129
cores, and it never gets past the "starting simulation" message. For
128 cores it runs fine (including printing out the "warning:
increasing stack size by one page" message, but the moment I go above
128 I never see that warning and it hangs.
On the other hand, running in atomic simple cpu mode it completes for
even 256 cores.
This is using an unmodified m5 2.0b4 source. Does anyone know what may
be causing this issue, and if there is a way to get around it? Or how
I may go about tracing the problem down? I'm not sure what all steps
occur between the "starting simulation" message and when the programs
get loaded (which I assume causes the stack size increase), but that's
when the simulator appears to get stuck.
Thanks,
Nick
