[Gems-users] regd ruby results and magic instruction

["Dave Z." <zhu_dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I have a few questions regarding Ruby results and
magic instruction. In my configuration, there are two
processors. For example, total_misses is shown as
follows: total_misses: 39269 [39269 0]. Does each
number in brackets refer to a processor? If so, does
it mean the benchmark ran only on one of the
processors? Is there a way to assign threads to
processors? Like processor affinity in Linux?

There is a section called "Chip Stats" in Ruby
statistics. I have been trying to find where "Chip
Stats" (e.g. cache event counts, transitions) are
analyzed, but I couldn't find them in any of the files
located at ruby/profiler/. Could you please tell me
where "Chip Stats" are taken care of?

I try to use the magic instruction in my benchmark,
MAGIC(1) and MAGIC(2) as mentioned in simics user
guide. But when I run the simulation, it doesn't stop
at the magic breakpoint but continues until the end.
(I'm using sarek with solaris 10). What could be the
problem? 

Thank you for your help.
