Re: [m5-dev] Regression tests for X86

2010-08-11 Thread Joel Hestness
Hi Dibakar, I recently built a Linux kernel for M5 X86_FS that was based on v2.6.28.4, but modified and compiled specifically for M5. I have patches for my changes, but we're still in the debugging phases of bringing up X86_FS with multicore support, so I'm not confident enough to send them arou

[m5-dev] Regression tests for X86

2010-08-07 Thread dibakar gope
Hi All, I have few queries regarding the regression tests for X86. (1) I could build the x86 in FS mode for AtomicSimpleCPU, O3CPU and SimpleTimingCPU mode (I am using a bunch of x86-specific patches from http://www.csl.cornell.edu/~vince/projects/m5/m5_x86_64_se_status.html). I guess that the pr

2009-04-22 Thread Korey Sewell
I guess 1 possible way to incorporate your idea is have the Scons script create a temporary 'progress' file in the regression output directory. That file could get continually updated to provide your 'progress bar' so to speak... The next question is how would M5 communicate that? You could easily

I'm currently running all the regressions on my patches and was thinking that it'd be nice to have a progress bar that showed how far along each regression was. That doesn't fall out of how they're set up at the moment, but I could imagine something like that using the number of ticks or instru

Sure, they pass, but there are slight changes in stdout and config.ini and stuff like that. We don't error out on a difference in stdout (though, we should probably separate the guest's stdout and verify that) Nate On Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 7:58 PM, Ali Saidi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ummm...

If that's restricted to x86 parser I wrote an email about that earlier. I don't know exactly what's wrong, but if you can get two machines to pass and fail at the same time and send me a tracediff it would really help.

Hopefully not. I'd say it's unlikely but I definitely wouldn't say it's impossible. For that few of instructions it might be fstat or something like that passing through some host state which changes execution in the guest slightly. I think I had problems with parser behaving strangely before as we

I ran a full regression of the new tree manually. The only thing that reported a difference was x86/parser. That particular benchmarks seems to change it stats by 20 instructions kind of frequently. There must be some uninitialized state or something about 32bit vs 64bit compiles? Ali _
