Re: [Gems-users] NEW QUERY!! Random Tester with Trace

["Ashwath Narasimhan" <nashwath@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Thank you for helping me out. 
I have a question.

1)  I am having a trace file which maps the physical address in my machine. This is in the range of GB eg: 
           5  0x3086061930 0 LD
          1 0x3086061924 0 IFETCH
          2 0x3086061927 0 IFETCH
          1 0x3215124728 0 LD
          2 0x3086061930 0 IFETCH
          5 0x3086061932 0 IFETCH

           How Can I better represent this ? I would like to reduce the number of bits.
=============================================================================================
BACKGROUND of Problem.
=============================================================================================

I was not able to index this address so I increased g_MEMORY_SIZE_BYTES to 2^36 = 68719476736
I then executed the tester and this is what i get..I feel the problem arises when ruby tries to create array of g_MEMORY_SIZE_BYTES. Am I right??????????

===============================================================================================
OUTPUT
===============================================================================================

an2355@athens /local/csee6824/an2355/gems/ruby $ ./x86-linux/generated/MOSI_SMP_bcast/bin/tester.exec -p 16 -z little.trace -s 1

1.  The size of messages are specified in the protocol files (e.g. by
setting out_msg.MessageSize := MessageSizeType:Data).  The MessageSize
types are defined in GEMS/protocols/RubySlicc_Exports.sm.  The integer
size of the types is defined in GEMS/ruby/network/Network.h in the
function MessageSizeType_to_int.
2.  The CacheMsg class is in a file generated by SLICC.  It's members
are initially declared in GEMS/protocols/RubySlicc_Exports.sm, and the
generated C file is found in
GEMS/ruby/generated/{PROTOCOL_NAME}/CacheMsg.h.
