Hi, I was not really suggesting using SimPoints (even that is a good option depending on your needs). As you say, to generate the SimPoints you first have to run the full thing (although you can do it with less detailed CPU which greatly speeds up things). I was just stating the typical throu

Hi Oscar, Yes, I agree with Simpoints its possible to simulate SPEC benchmarks but the problems is, how do you generate BBV file for the simpoint tool. I tried to generate this BBV file using Gem5 (for perlbench) and took like 3 days. Did I do something wrong? Asif On Wednesday, June 28, 2017,

Thank you for your reply, Matthias. I'm aware of the integrated DRAMPower model, and we are using it as well, but we are comparing memory power models and in this context, the Micron spreadsheet still is a relevant reference, it's shortcomings notwithstanding. Any ideas about 'prechargeAllPe

[gem5-users] adding a new module

Hallo gem5 team, i am a completely newbie with gem5. The aim is to construct a new module on top of the cache. So far i used the tutorial from "learning.gem5.org" to understand how a module has to look like. Now i have the example and can run it with the corresponding .py script stand alone. A
