[Gems-users] Transactional mem stats query

[holey003@xxxxxxx]

Hi,

I am trying to run transactional memory benchmark 'conswtch' provided in 
gems2.1. I can see the code running transaction generating statements. But 
in the final stats it shows everything as 0.
transactions_started: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 ]
transactions_ended: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 ]
instructions_per_transaction: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 ]
cycles_per_transaction: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 ]
misses_per_transaction: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 ]

Then I tried to find out in the reverse direction i.e. how these counters 
are getting updated. e.g. transactions_started variable is updated through 
function 'magic_instruction_callback' which is defined in 
/gems2.1/ruby/simics/commands.C. But I found that during the run period, 
this function is never executed. At the same time I am seeing macros like
			BEGIN_WORKLOAD_TRANSACTION
			BEGIN_CLOSED_TRANSACTION(0)
being called during benchmark run. What could go wrong in the setup which 
is not able to create actual transaction?
Thanks,
Anup
