官方教程:gem5: Understanding gem5 statistics and output

在运行 gem5 之后,除了仿真脚本打印的仿真信息外,还会在根目录中名为 m5out 的目录中生成三个文件:

  • config.ini:包含仿真过程中创建的每个 SimObject 及其参数值的列表。
  • config.json:与 config.ini 相同,但以 JSON 格式存储。
  • stats.txt:gem5 仿真期间注册的所有统计信息的文本表示。

这些文件存储在名为 m5out 的目录中。

一、config.ini

该文件是仿真过程中所模拟内容的确切版本。它显示了每个被仿真的 SimObject 的所有参数,无论这些参数是在配置脚本中设置的还是使用了默认值。

下面是从在运行 simple-config-chapter 中的 simple.py 配置文件时生成的 config.ini 文件中提取的内容。

该文件是仿真过程中所模拟内容的确切版本。它显示了每个被仿真的 SimObject 的所有参数,无论这些参数是在配置脚本中设置的还是使用了默认值。

以下是我自己的配置文件时生成的 config.ini 文件中提取的内容(只截取了部分)。

在每个 SimObject 的描述开头,首先是它在配置文件中创建时用方括号括起来的名称(例如[system])。

接下来,显示了每个 SimObject 的每个参数及其值(在截取的部分主要看system),包括在配置文件中未明确设置的参数。例如,配置文件将时钟域设置为 1 GHz(在此情况下为 1000 个时钟周期)。然而,它没有设置 cache line size(在系统中为 64)对象。

config.ini 文件类似于一个对照工具,用来确保仿真配置和预期相同。gem5有多重设置默认值和覆盖默认值的可能,所以对config.ini进行合理性检查,用来确保子啊配置文件中设置的参数传递到实际的类中。

二、config.json

与 config.ini 相同,但以 JSON 格式存储(不作过多说明)。

三、stats.txt

gem5拥有一个灵活的统计信息生成系统。gem5统计信息在Statistics - gem5上有详细介绍。每个SimObject的实例化都有自己的统计信息。在仿真结束时,或者当发出特殊的统计信息转储命令时,所有SimObject的当前统计信息状态将被转储到一个文件中。

首先,统计文件包含有关执行的一般统计信息:

(这里是我自己的配置文件,只起示范作用)

统计信息开始于 "---------- Begin Simulation Statistics ----------"。如果在gem5执行期间进行了多次统计信息转储,则在单个文件中会有多个此类转储。常见于运行时间较长的应用程序或从检查点恢复时。

每个统计信息具有名称(第一列)、值(第二列)和描述(前面带有#的最后一列),后面是统计信息的单位。

大多数统计信息从其描述中很容易理解。其中几个重要的统计信息包括 sim_seconds,它是仿真的总时间;sim_insts,它是CPU提交的指令数量;host_inst_rate,它告诉您gem5的性能。

接下来,将打印SimObjects的统计信息。例如,CPU统计信息包含有关系统调用数量、缓存系统和翻译缓冲区等的信息。
