Daniele,
Warmup files are compressed memory reference streams and can be used to
warm up Ruby's caches before measurement begins, thereby mostly
eliminating the cold-start compulsory misses. It is used when running
with Simics, but before Simics begins delivering memory references to ruby.
Regards,
Dan

Hi all. I have a question regarding the input ruby parametr
"g_trace_warmup_length". It seems this parameter is used to clear ruby
stats after n memory references. Well, since it seems to me it's used
only inside the function int Tracer::playbackTrace(string filename),
my question is:
Is this parameter used only in Trace Driven simulations using
tester.exec "filename" or it's used also when Ruby is used as module
of Simics?
Sorry to be a nuisance.
Thank you very much.
