Re: [Gems-users] Simics getting shaky, after changine cache associativity.

[Mike Marty <mikem@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When Simics "gets shaky", it is indeed often due to a segfault in Ruby.  
However I use 16-way associative caches all the time with no problems.
I recommend reproducing this problem with the random tester, if 
possible, because it is easy to attach a debugger and get a stack trace.
