Hi Zacharia, The number of branch predictors that are instantiated in the MT simulator is equal to the CMP width. Because the number of SimicsTracers that exist in the simulation is equal to the number of hardware contexts, you need to specify the -bpwarm:cores to be equal to the number of hardware contexts that share the branch predictor.

It should be equal to the number of cpus or it should be equal to number of threads (in case of no multithreading always 1) or something else? thanks - Zacharias Hadjilambrou
