From d067327fc0c1a67ad2d456840e83db7b593b94a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Radhika Jagtap Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:01:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cpu: Adjust for trace offset and fix stats This change subtracts the time offset present in the trace from all the event times when nodes and request are sent so that the replay starts immediately when the simulation starts. This makes the stats accurate when the time offset in traces is large, for example when traces are generated in the middle of a workload execution. It also solves the problem of unnecessary DRAM refresh events that would keep occuring during the large time offset before even a single request is replayed into the system.
