This repository contains files related to my exploration of ChampSim on my personal desktop. I am working on understanding how to interact with the ChampSim simulator and the simulation process.
The primary goal is to familiarize myself with providing instructions to the ChampSim simulator. In my initial attempt, I aim to experiment with the simulator to see if I can intentionally provoke any unexpected behavior.
To get started, I want to measure the time ChampSim takes with the default settings provided in the champsim_config.json file. Follow the instructions below on the master branch:
-
Execute the configuration script:
$ ./config.sh champsim_config.json
-
Build the project:
$ make
-
Run the following instruction:
$ bin/champsim --warmup_instructions 2000000 --simulation_instructions 5000000 600.perlbench_s-210B.champsimtrace.x
This specifies that we have given the perlbench trace collection, which is in the same folder, so as to run the binary file
directly, kept in the bin folder.
This will use the initial/default configuration settings for the simulation.
Feel free to explore and follow along as I document my journey on the master branch.
Let the experimentation begin!
