Ali, Oops -- I had added the max_inst option that to se.py for some reason. Here's a new (hopefully complete) diff. -Vilas On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 3:05 PM, Ali Saidi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Vilas, > > Are the diffs complete? The max_inst option never appears in > Options.py but it's

Hi Vilas, Are the diffs complete? The max_inst option never appears in Options.py but it's used in Simulation.py Thanks, ali On Feb 15, 2008, at 2:00 PM, Vilas Sridharan wrote: As an aside, if you want to fast forward 300M instructions and not necessarily 300M cycles, it would be good to

But that won't create a checkpoint at 300M instructions, although using that with a modified Simulation.py could result in the checkpoint being generated. Ali On Jan 26, 2008, at 11:50 AM, Korey Sewell wrote: I believe there was a thread about max instructions but that was in reference to

I believe there was a thread about max instructions but that was in reference to running simulations with multiple threads or instruction streams. If this is just a single-threaded simulation, I think he can just specify "max_insts=X" on the command line to get his desired effect of stopping at 30

First you might want to talk to Rick Strong about this a little bit, since he has been doing the same thing and he might have added parameters that take an instruction count to checkpoint on (also you should make sure that you've patched your tree with the various patches that have been pos

The basic clock rate is 1 ps (1 THz). I think you really want (1 THz/1 Ghz) * 300M, which would be 3x10^11 not 3x10^17 ticks. As an aside, if you want to fast forward 300M instructions and not necessarily 300M cycles, it would be good to be able to specify that directly... didn't we just have a t

hi everybody, this is my first time to fast forward instructions using AtomicSimpleCPU. I want to fast forward to 300M instructions (for gzip graphic-ref) so I fast forward to (1Ghz * 300M= 3x10^17 ticks), its now been simulating for 29hrs now and I decided to attach 'm5term' and it says "11
