[gem5-users] Simulation time profiling for Gem5 with Garnet2.0

[Sumit Mandal]

Hello everyone,

I want to profile simulation time for Gem5 running along with Garnet2.0.
Basically I want to know simulation time spent by host for Garnet related
function calls.

For an example, consider that the whole Gem5 simulation takes 10 hours in
host system. I want to find out how much of this time is spent by Garnet
related function calls. If Garnet takes 2 out of 10 hours, we can roughly
say that Garnet simulation takes 20% of total simulation time.

Has anybody done this type of analysis before? Or can anybody help on how
to proceed for this kind of analysis.

Thanks is advance.

Hi Sumit,

You should be able to get this information using gprof. You can run gem5
with gprof by compiling the profiling version (gem5.prof). If you prefer to
use the google perf tools (
https://gperftools.github.io/gperftools/cpuprofile.html), then you can
compile gem5.perf and use those.

Cheers,
Jason

Hi Sumit,
Once you do this analysis, can you send it out.
I am very curious to see how long Garnet takes, and specifically which functions in Garnet take longer.

Cheers,
Tushar
