[Gems-users] Running SPEC 2K6 benchmarks

[Ranjith Subramanian <ranji@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's more of a simics problem but I thought I'd ask on this group since 
many of you might have tried running the SPEC 2K6 benchmarks on Simics 
with Ruby/Opal.
Initially I mounted the SPEC 2K6 installation disk on the simics FS and 
tried installing it on the simics drive. I got some errors.
I then tried copying the installation files onto the simics drive and I 
get the following error.
Flushing to /var/tmp/swap.sd0_image.1: /var/tmp/swap.sd0_image.1: craff 
write: No space left on device
[cpu0] v:0x00000000004fc684 p:0x000004fc684  add %o1, 64, %o1

Has anyone been able to run these benchmarks on Simics/GEMS? If so, how 
did you go about installing the benchmarks and runnign them? Do you use 
any form of sampling, b'coz these benchmarks seem to take about 20 
minutes to run even on a very powerful system.
