It is suggested that you use crosstool-ng available [http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/dokuwiki/projects/crosstool#download here], a new tool based on Dan Kegel's cross tool that is more up to date. Follow the instructions available on that page for building the cross-compiler.

If you do not wish to build this tool yourself, you may be able to use one of the pre-compiled cross-compilers available on the [[Download|M5 Download Page]].

Install the SPEC CPU2006 from DVD and modify the CC, CXX, and FC in config/alpha.cfg. If alpha.cfg is not in the config/ directory, you can use linux32-i386-gcc42.cfg and modify the CC, CXX, and FC variables.

===== Expand M5 system call functions =====
 
Four extra system call functions are needed by SPEC2006. The functions can be modified in:

===== Trouble shooting =====
 +
You may encounter errors while executing the SPEC CPU2006, and these two errors are common on 32-bits machine.
 +
 +
1. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc':
 +
 +
The M5 cannot allocate memory from you system. This happens a lot in the 32-bits machine, because only 3G memory can be used. To make life easier, you need a 64-bits machine.
 +
 +
2. bus error:
 +
 +
The same as above.
 +
 +

If you have any questions, please email to M5 Mailing-List.

Latest revision as of 17:09, 17 September 2016

This is a work in-progress. Everyone should feel free to extend this page with their experiences to help new users get started.


Input sets and Binaries

We can't provide the binaries or input files because of licensing restrictions, but It's not hard to build the binaries by yourself. In this short article, we will share our experiences about what we have done so far.

Build the cross-compiler for alpha machine

It is suggested that you use crosstool-ng available here, a new tool based on Dan Kegel's cross tool that is more up to date. Follow the instructions available on that page for building the cross-compiler.

If you do not wish to build this tool yourself, you may be able to use one of the pre-compiled cross-compilers available on the M5 Download Page.

Or, you can use the older crosstool. Download the crosstool-0.43.tar.gz from http://kegel.com/crosstool and modify these three lines in the demo-alpha.sh :

RESULT_TOP=where_you_want_to_put_the_compiler
GCC_LANGUAGES="c,c++,fortran"
eval `cat alpha.dat gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.6.dat` sh all.sh --notest

Then follow the steps in the crosstool-howto page to build the cross compiler.

Build the SPEC CPU2006 alpha binaries

Install the SPEC CPU2006 from DVD and modify the CC, CXX, and FC in config/alpha.cfg. If alpha.cfg is not in the config/ directory, you can use linux32-i386-gcc42.cfg and modify the CC, CXX, and FC variables.

For example:
    CC =  /home/mjwu/crosstool/gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.6/alpha/bin/alpha-gcc 
    CXX = /home/mjwu/crosstool/gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.6/alpha/bin/alpha-g++ 
    FC =  /home/mjwu/crosstool/gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.6/alpha/bin/alpha-gfortran

Then follow the instructions in the ./Docs/install-guide-unix.html to build the binaries

For example:
    runspec --config=alpha.cfg --action=build --tune=base bzip2
Create the SPEC CPU2006 processes for M5 SE mode

A good reference for the correct command line options can be found here: SPEC_CPU2006_Commands.

For your convenience, here is our benchmark python file for the M5 SE mode.

#Mybench.py

#400.perlbench
perlbench = LiveProcess()
perlbench.executable =  binary_dir+'400.perlbench_base.alpha-gcc'

bzip2.executable =  binary_dir+'401.bzip2_base.alpha-gcc'
data=data_dir+'401.bzip2/data/all/input/input.program'
bzip2.cmd = [bzip2.executable] + [data, '1']
bzip2.output = 'input.program.out'

gcc.executable =  binary_dir+'403.gcc_base.alpha-gcc'
data=data_dir+'403.gcc/data/test/input/cccp.i'

Trouble shooting

You may encounter errors while executing the SPEC CPU2006, and these two errors are common on 32-bits machine.

1. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc':

The M5 cannot allocate memory from you system. This happens a lot in the 32-bits machine, because only 3G memory can be used. To make life easier, you need a 64-bits machine.

2. bus error:

The same as above.


If you have any questions, please email to M5 Mailing-List.
