Re: [Gems-users] Simulating SPEC 2000 benchmarks takes too long in simics 2.2.19

[Dan Gibson <degibson@xxxxxxxx>]

I can't comment directly on SPEC 2k, but I do know that it takes hours 
to run many of the SPEC 2k6 benchmarks on a real machine -- expecting 
the benchmark to run to completion under simulation is not realistic.
To give you a ballpark idea, we use the following host machine and 
target configuration:
Host:
Dual quad-core Intel Xeon
16 GB RAM

Target:
Solaris 9
8 UltraSparc III+ processors
Apache web server
Simics 2.2.19

We get about 16 KIPS out of running Simics with Ruby and Opal loaded. 
Thats about 18 hours per 1 billion instructions.
Regards,
Dan
