Dan,
I have two questions about your response to Abdullah.
You said:"Once disks are made (os installed, etc), its fine to crank up the cpu speed and increase the number of processors, provided you pass -r to the kernel at boot-time."
(1) Do you mean that I can make OS installed with single CPU on a target machine and change the CPU number later for workload setup?
Yes.
(2) How can I pass -r to the kernel at boot-time?
You have to do some magic to the boot prompt. The naked checkpoints do
the same magic, I believe... otherwise, just have a look at the Simics
reference manual on how to issue commands via the boot prom
Regards,
Dan
Best Regards
