Hello all,

I have problems when running SIMICS with RUBY.

I ran a benchmark many times using MOSI_SMP_bcast_1level protocol.

But I get very different instruction count between each results.

The instruction_executed varied much more than 5%.

Is there any setting I might miss?

 

Thanks for helping.
