Re: [Gems-users] Interaction between Ruby and benchmarks

[Dan Gibson <degibson@xxxxxxxx>]

Dave,
Have a look at how the LogTM release handles begin/end transaction 
instructions. It uses the simics "magic instruction" hap, which can be 
passed a parameter through the value used by the sethi instruction. You 
might be able to leverage this functionality for your prefetching hints.
Regards,
Dan
