Improving the performance/power efficiency of a single processor has been fraught with various challenges stemming from the end of the classical technology scaling. Thus, the importance of efficiently running applications on a parallel/distributed computer system has continued to increase. In developing/optimizing such a parallel/distributed computer system, it is critical to study the impact of the complex interplay amongst nodes and network on performance/power efficiency in detail. This necessitates a flexible, detailed and open-source full-system simulation infrastructure. However, our community lacks such an infrastructure. In this paper, we present pd-gem5,a gem5-based infrastructure that canmodel and simulatea parallel/distributed computer systemusingmultiplesimulation hosts.Our experiment shows that pd-gem5running on 6simulation hostsspeedsup the simulation of a 24-node computer systemup to3.2×compared withrunning on a single simulation host. |
