Re: [Gems-users] Problem running transactional workload

[holey003@xxxxxxx]

Now I am running 'conswtch' transactional benchmark using command 
"./conswtch 3 3". But I am observing that the program goes into infinite 
loop once entered in the 'slaveLoop' function. Three instances of slaveLoop 
run simultaneously. Few questions related to it.
1. What is expected runtime for given parameters? 
2. When slaveLoop function ends?
3. In ruby stats, I find following transactional statistics.

transactions_started: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 ]
transactions_ended: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 ]
instructions_per_transaction: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 ]
cycles_per_transaction: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 ]
misses_per_transaction: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 ]

Why all these are zero? Does that mean no transactional operations are 
happening in the benchmark?
Thanks,
Anup
