[Gems-users] running splash benchmark in gems (ruby opal)

["Mohammad Tanvir Alam" <moalam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am trying to run the splash benchmarks with ruby and opal in simics. I am using bagle SPARK architecture.

I made a checkpoint of benchmark cholesky as described in isca tutorial and following is my script:

#simic -stall
simics> read-configuration ./cholesky_cold.check
simics> @sys.path.append("../../../gen-scripts")
simics> @import mfacet
simics> istc-disable
simics> dstc-disable
simics> instruction-fetch.......
simics> magic-break-enable
simics> load-module ruby
simics> ruby0.setparam g_NUM_PROCESSORS 16
simics> ruby0.setparam g_PROCS_PER_CHIP 4
simics> ruby0.setparam
 g_NUM_L2_BANKS 32
simics> ruby0.setparam L2_CACHE_ASSOC 4
simics> ruby0.setparam L2_CACHE_NUM_SETS_BITS 16
simics> ruby0.setparam NETWORK_LINK_LATENCY 50
simics> ruby0.init
simics> load-module opal
simics> opal0.init
simics> opal0.sim-start "cholesky.opal"
simics> @mfacet.setup_run_for_n_transactions(1,1)
simics> opal0.sim-step 9999999999

running ..............never finishes...


At this point I am not sure what opal is running because I did not run the CHOLESKY program (in fact I dont have any prompt to run).  I want the whole program to finish.

Is there anything about MAGIC-BREAKPOINT that I am missing?

May be I am asking silly question as I am new in gems as well as in simics

Thanks
