When Simics "gets shaky", it is indeed often due to a segfault in Ruby.
However I use 16-way associative caches all the time with no problems.
I recommend reproducing this problem with the random tester, if
possible, because it is easy to attach a debugger and get a stack trace.

Hi there,
I got a very strange problem in GEMS. Whenever I changed the cache
associativity to more than 4, for example, 8 and 16, Simics getting shaky. I
think there is kind of a segmentation fault, a null pointer error probably
somewhere in CacheMemory.h file. Is there anybody who suffered from this
problem or knows the reason why it occurrs?
Thank you.
