Re: [Gems-users] TM - runtime error

[Polina Dudnik <pdudnik@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, here's what I think: the number of threads for conswitch must not be very straightforward, so when you specify 3, it probably never gets to the part of the program where transactions are. 

The script must be right and I was wrong.

So, now that I look at it, I know what the problem is. Look at this message:

End exposed action for thread 0 of proc 3 PC [0x11728, line 0x11700]
36500 3 [3,0] endEscapeAction WARNING escape depth < 1. Depth = 0
val = 6

What it is telling you is that you are ending an escape action without having started it.

Did you modify the source code for conswitch in any way?

Thank you.

Ok.. But I got this value from conswtch.simics script where no. of threads
are 2*processors-2. If I make it 3, I can't see debug messages for
transactions, which means callback to simics from benchmark having those
macros, e.g. BEGIN_WORKLOAD_TRANSACTION, are not working. Why would they
work when number of threads are more?
