As a result of the fixes, the full-system dual-core ARM regressions
are slightly changed. Hopefully this also means there will no longer
be any discrepancies between the results observed on different hosts.
This patch bumps the stats to reflect the addition of the snoop filter
and snoop stats, the change from bus to crossbar, and the updates to
the ARM regressions that are now using a different CPU and cache
configuration. Lastly, some minor changes are expected due to the
activation cleanup of the CPUs.
This patch changes the perlbmk regression script from the large to the
medium dataset to reduce the regression run time. For all ISAs and CPU
models, the total perlbmk host CPU time with the large dataset is
roughly 12 hours (constituting >30% of the total regression host
time). There is, most likely, almost no added value in terms of code
coverage for this rather excessive run time.
This patch avoids building the 'inorder' CPU model for any permutation
of ALPHA, and also removes the ALPHA regressions using the 'inorder'
CPU. The 'minor' CPU is already providing a broader test coverage.
Only printing one rather than two args for the ignored syscall
warning means the count of register accesses has changed on
a few runs. Oddly only Alpha Tru64 seems to have any ignored
syscalls in the regression tests.
Mostly small differences in total ticks, but O3 stall causes
shifted significantly.
30.eon does speed up by ~6% on Alpha and ARM, and 50.vortex
by 4.5% on ARM. At the other extreme, X86 70.twolf is 0.8%
slower.
Update stats for recent changes. Mostly minor changes
in register access stats due to addition of new cc
register type and slightly different (and more accurate)
classification of int vs. fp register accesses.
This patch simply brings the stats for the pc-simple-timing-ruby
regression up to date. The particular regression seems to give
different results on different systems unfortunately, and this update
reflects the current behaviour on zizzer.
The updates to the x87 caused the stats for several regressions to
change. This was mainly caused by the addition of a working 32-bit and
80-bit FP load instruction and xsave support.
Apparently only stats.txt was updated the last time, so
this changeset updates other reference output files
(config.ini, simout, simerr, ruby.stats) so that
test output diffs should not be cluttered with irrelevant
changes. There are a few stats.txt updates too, but
they are in the minority.
This patch updates the stats to reflect the: 1) addition of the
internal queue in SimpleMemory, 2) moving of the memory class outside
FSConfig, 3) fixing up of the 2D vector printing format, 4) specifying
burst size and interface width for the DRAM instead of relying on
cache-line size, 5) performing merging in the DRAM controller write
buffer, and 6) fixing how idle cycles are counted in the atomic and
timing CPU models.
The main reason for bundling them up is to minimise the changeset
size.
This patch removes the sparse histogram total from the CommMonitor
stats. It also bumps the stats after the unit fixes in the atomic
cache access. Lastly, it updates the stats to match the new port
ordering. All numbers are the same, and the only thing that changes is
which master corresponds to what port index.
This patch extends the existing system builders to also include a
syscall-emulation builder. This builder is deployed in all
syscall-emulation regressions that do not involve Ruby,
i.e. o3-timing, simple-timing and simple-atomic, as well as the
multi-processor regressions o3-timing-mp, simple-timing-mp and
simple-atomic-mp (the latter are only used by SPARC at this point).
The values chosen for the cache sizes match those that were used in
the existing config scripts (despite being on the large
side). Similarly, a mem_class parameter is added to the builder base
class to enable simple-atomic to use SimpleMemory and o3-timing to use
the default DDR3 configuration.
Due to the different order the ports are connected, the bus stats get
shuffled around for the multi-processor regressions. A separate patch
bumps the port indices. Besides this, all behaviour is exactly the
same.
