I added this functionality to Simulation.py and Options.py. I use --fast_forward on its own to create checkpoints, and then with --standard_switch to warmup caches. I've attached the diffs. A word of caution: I had to back out some of my other changes to Simulation.py to create this diff, so I haven't tested this on its own. But it should be really close to what is needed. -Vilas > > Steve > > On Jan 26, 2008 8:31 AM, dean michael ancajas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi everybody, > > this is my first time to fast forward instructions using > > AtomicSimpleCPU.
