[Gems-users] cpu-switch-time

[Shougata Ghosh <shougata@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
How does the simulation time vary with cpu-switch-time? I'm running the 
tm-deque (transactional microbenchmark) program with 
MESI_SMP_LogTm_directory (Ruby only) and have set cpu-switch-time to 1. 
It seems to be running extremely slow! Earlier, I had mistakenly run it 
with cpu-switch-time set to 1000 (default) and it ran much faster.
Any ideas on this? I expected cpu-switch-time to affect the correctness 
of transactional programs but not quite sure why it is slowing down 
simulation time.
Thanks
