[Gems-users] stalling simics

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

Hello All,

If I understand correctly, when Simics encounters a
data or instruction access, it stalls and passes the
request to Ruby. Then, Ruby handles the request
(SimicsDriver, SimicsProcessor, Sequencer, Coherence
Protocol) and returns some number of cycles. When
Simics receives the number of cycles, it waits until
that many cycles pass and continues simulation. Please
correct me if I'm wrong.

My question is: Is it possible to stall/unstall Simics
without waiting for it to encounter data/instruction
accesses?

Thank you,

Dave
