[Gems-users] How to change the number of CPU's

[Shirshendu Das <shirshendu.iitg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am working on GEMS Ruby  with the target architecture Serengeti on 
Simics. I followed the following steps to install Solaris on it.

i)   I edited "abisco-common.simcs" with number of CPU's as 16.
ii)  Installed Solaria on it.
iii) Installed simicsfs
iv)  Wrote configuration as "final.check".

Now, when I start from "final.check" every things works fine. But if I 
want to change the number of cores from 16 to 8 then what should I 
do?
Is it necessary to install the Solaris again?
Can I change the number of cores or architecture of simics from GEMS?
