Hi Alex, - SImics is a purely functional model of the computer system. As such, there is no notion of a CPU power state. Flexus provides timing models and could be used to model the effect of power states (e.g., variable frequency operation). I'd advise you to go through some of the getting started guide in both Simics and Flexus to learn some of the basics.
- EPFL has Flexus and Simics set up. Contact Mike Ferdman there for more information. He's part of the PARSA Lab. michael.ferdman at epfl.ch - For others reading along on the list, we (CMU/SimFlex) cannot provide access to the Simics academic package. Contact Virtutech, but note that they are phasing out the personal academic license in favor of site licenses. So it's best to contact your academic IT administrator. - I don't believe GCC 4.3.x includes Boost by default. Even if gcc (or some Linux distribution you have) includes Boost, you will still need to include the library, just as you "#include <vector>" to get access to STL vectors.
