[Gems-users] Different processor frequencies

[Niket Agarwal <niketa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

	I am trying to model DVFS inside GEMS. The way I was thinking of  
doing this was by changing the Opal and Simics interface to fetch  
instructions at different rates. My understanding of the interface is  
that Opal simulates a multiprocessor system by fetching one  
instruction at a time, in a round-robin manner, from the Simics  
interface from the processors that have active instructions. I wish to  
change this interface.
For e.g. if a processor is running at half the frequency of the other,  
in 2 iterations I will fetch instructions twice from the faster  
processor and once from the slower processor.
Can someone let me know if that sounds reasonable?

Cheers,
Niket
