[Gems-users] Simulation is hanging

[Ricardo Quislant del Barrio <quislant@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I'm simulating STAMP large transactional benchmarks with Ruby.
I've been able to simulate "kmeans" benchmark without incidences but 
when trying
with other benchmarks  (labyrinth or yada) the simulation hangs and it 
doesn't end.
With "genome" and "vacation" benchmarks the simulation ends some times 
and others
(the more frequently), it hangs.
Sometimes are shown XACT_CONSISTENCY_CHECKER conflicts.
I build the checkpoints inside Simics 3.0.31: Solaris 9, gcc 3.4.6.
GEMS version: 2.0
Perhaps, i need to do some complex modifications to benchmarks. I've 
just changed the
macros BEGIN_XACT, COMMIT_XACT from STAMP to point the ones in 
transaction.h from
GEMS, and I've also inserted tm_bind_to_cabinet, Barrier_breaking, 
set_transaction_registers and BEGIN_WORKLOAD_TRANSACTION before the 
first transaction begins.
I've dissasemble the code of the compiled benchmark and the offset in 
set_transaction_registers
is ok.
If XACT_CONSISTENCY_CHECKER conflicts could be the problem, ¿How can I 
fix them?
Thanks,
Ricardo
