You have been working on a modified version of GEMS from the onset? That would have been useful to know somewhat earlier.

Simics 3.0 has probably changed the way it marks accesses as supervisor mode. See the Simics Reference Manual...

may_stall value is 0, so it's not the problem. I guess
the problem is in the operate memory function, where I
check for mem_trans->priv bit and return 0 if it is 1.
This used to work just fine with the older Simics. The
strange thing is that when I comment it out, none of
the user misses get recorded, but when I leave it as
is, none of the misses, coherence events are recorded
(all results are 0). What else can I do to separate
user and supervisor execution?

Thanks.

    That is the expected functionality. By default,
the snoop interface(aka the observe memory function)
is not installed.

This is getting stranger and stranger.

You can try adding more printf's throughout Ruby's
hierarchy to seewhere the operate memory function is
returning from. You might want tocheck the
memory_transaction_t's->s.may_stall value -- If
may_stlalis consistently set to 0, then that would be
the root of the problem.

rubyresultsHi,I've upgraded my Simics version to
3.0.22. Everything seems to work fine except for the Ruby results. I'm not sure if this is a GEMS problem, but the results I get regarding the memory requests (misses, coherence events, etc.) are all zero. After
readingmycheckpoint, I do
thefollowing:instruction-fetch-modeinstruction-fetch-traceistc-disabledstc-disablecpu-switch-time1magic-break-enableload-module
rubyruby0.initThe onlything different from my old configuration is that I get a warning info as follows:[cpu0
info] Notethat on this cpu,instruction-fetch-trace
isimplemented usinginstruction-cache-access-trace with
asuitable cache line size.[cpu1 info] Note that on
thiscpu,instruction-fetch-trace is

suitable cache line size.The Simics folks say that it's a harmlessinfo message === message truncated
