How to fix error; build/X86/gem5.opt configs/example/se.py -c tests/test-progs/hello/bin/x86/linux/hello

[peterhchen]

in /workspace/gem5-addlin,

build/X86/gem5.opt configs/example/se.py -c tests/test-progs/hello/bin/x86/linux/hello Error: AttributeError: Values instance has no attribute 'accel_cfg_file' How to fix this error? 071_CompileRun_Gem5_Aladdin_C_code_CommonZone.pptx

[xyzsam]

Can you try configs/example/aladdin_se.py instead?

[peterhchen]

i complied already. I fixed this by:

build/X86/gem5.opt configs/aladdin/aladdin_se.py -c tests/test-progs/hello/bin/x86/linux/hellp

Hello World! See below attached document/ 071_CompileRun_Gem5_Aladdin_C_code_CommonZone_V02.pptx d!

[peterhchen]

For me, it seems two steps for all designs (written in C code):

1. Use gcc to compile the c code into binary code.
2. Use gem5.opt with aladdin_se.py to setup the X86 architecture.
3. there is addition configuration L1 Cache, L2 Cache, etc. which is independent for step 1 and step 2?

[peterhchen]

Sure. Will try tomorrow

gem5-aladdin/configs/example: No aladdin_se.py.

Sorry, I meant configs/aladdin/aladdin_se.py, but you figured this out already.

In test_load_store.c, how to print a message in the application?

printf("Hello test_load_store\n");

Yes.

there is addition configuration L1 Cache, L2 Cache, etc. which is independent for step 1 and step 2?

Yes, it depends on what you want to do. If you just want to adjust the cache sizes on the CPU cluster, there are flags to do this, see here. If you want to modify the cache sizes on the accelerator, this is done via the gem5.cfg file.

I modify the c file and make. It has the error when include the *h Cannot find the include header in the test_load_store

Without attaching the patch you made to the file and including instructions on how you are attempting to build, there is no way I can help debug your problem.

1. I can only build xyzsamgem5-alddin by Python2.7 which scons build\X86\gem5.opt
2. No one in my company use "scons build\X86\gem5.opt
3. My company and myself use Ubuntu 20.04, 18.04, Python3 and Python2. Only Python 2.7 can build.

In the test_load_store directory: I move the binary file into the backup

mv test_load_store test_load_store_backup First time "make" make

I got the error message above: cannot find "aladdin_sys_connection.h" second time "make" make No error message: ls -l I can see test_load_store-instrumented is generated. I cannot see the "test_load_store" binary file generated. Is the test_load_store-instrunmented (debug) is fine to replace the test_load_store (strip out debug information)?

In test_load_store/Makefile fixed as below. I move the include ../Makefile.gem5 before the test_load_test.c The error goes away.

cp test_load_store.gem5 test_load_store ./runs.sh It runs.

The instructions to build the integration tests are not clear, I agree. Here are the Make targets you have available:

• gem5-cpu: Builds a version of the binary that runs on the CPU in gem5
• gem5-accel: Builds a version of the binary that runs the accelerated function in Aladdin and the rest on the CPU.
• gem: Builds both gem5-cpu and gem5-accel.
• dma-trace-binary: Builds a version of the binary that is instrumented with LLVM-Tracer. Run this binary to generate a new dynamic_trace.gz. This binary is NOT meant to be simulated in gem5, so do not replace this with test_load_store - they serve completely different purposes.

So to rebuild and rerun a simulation of one of the integration tests:

> make clean
> make dma-trace-binary
> ./test_load_store-instrumented
# This will generate a new dynamic_trace.gz
> make gem5-accel
> sh run.sh

[peterhchen]

Thanks I will try today Currently, I only type “make” is not good enough. Only test_load_store can run and get both gem5 Ana Aladdin summary report. Others, only gem5 reports. 2-3 tests can not compile by “make” I will have a summary report at end of today.

Hi Dr. Sam Xi:

Sorry. My mistakes: Integrations Test Passed:

1. test_load_store
2. test_dma_load_store
3. test_dma_store_order

I will test rests.

Thanks for your help.

• gem5-accel: Builds a version of the binary that runs the accelerated function in Aladdin and the rest on the CPU.
• gem: Builds both gem5-cpu and gem5-accel.
• dma-trace-binary: Builds a version of the binary that is instrumented with LLVM-Tracer. Run this binary to generate a new dynamic_trace.gz. This binary is NOT meant to be simulated in gem5, so do not replace this with test_load_store - they serve completely different purposes.

So to rebuild and rerun a simulation of one of the integration tests:

make clean make dma-trace-binary ./test_load_store-instrumented

This will generate a new dynamic_trace.gz

make gem5-accel sh run.sh

Hi Dr. Sam Xi:

How to make test for test_mmap?

2. make dma-trace-binary [image: image.png]
3. ./test_mmap-instrumented There is no dynamic_trace.gz generated. [image: image.png]
4. make gem5-accel

No rule to make target [image: image.png]

Hi, Dr. Sam:

We need to generate a dataset for test_load_store. Is there an example to do that?

uDockerfile uFROM: gem5-aladdin_autotest (import and included pyTorch ) uWORKDIR /workspace/dataset uCOPY gem5_aladdin_dataset.py . uCOPY gem5_aladdin_parameter.txt . uCMD [“python”, “gem5_aladdin_dataset.py” uIn gem5_aladdin_dataset.py: u1. Parsing gem5_aladdin_parameter.txt u2. Compile C File into Aladdin Trace. u3. Loop using PyTorch RunManager u3.1 Setup parameters u3.2 pyTorch RunManager for parameters looping [Cartesian product = L1 cache (10) x L2 cache (10) x MMU (10) x etc. = 10^Y loop (rows)] u3.3 run.sh u4. Post processing results into load_store_dataset.csv u5. > docker build … u6. Host: docker run u7. Copy from Container to Host: docker cp outputs/load_store_dataset.csv (comma separate value) .

Hi Dr. Xi:

Where can I find the parameters setting document for gem5-aladdin? Below is the only document that I can find from web site:

https://harvard-acc.github.io/smaug_docs/run_model_in_simulation.html

We need the definitions for:

1. L1, 2, (or 3), Cache:
2. L1, 2, (or 3), Association:
3. L1, 2, (or 3): Cache Line Size:
4. number of CPUs:
5. memory size:
6. multi-threads
7. etc. Where can I find this information?

Hi Dr Xi:

I made some tests for gem5-aladdin and I found the area never changed as below. The parameters that I used are l11_size, l1i_assoc, l1d_size, l1d_assoc, l2_size, l2_assoc, l3_size, l3_assoc. The ipc (instruction per cycle) and power are fine. Only the area never change.

Do you know why?

1. Below is the result: [image: image.png]
2. Below is the sample of run.sh [image: image.png]

Dear Dr. Xi:

In gem5-Aladdin There is a “common” directory set the cache bytes. This cache bytes affect the size of area.

There is “with_cpu” directory set up L1, L2, l3, these size are not affect area

What are the differences between the cache in common directory and L1, L2, L3 in “with cpu” directory?

• dma-trace-binary: Builds a version of the binary that is instrumented with LLVM-Tracer. Run this binary to generate a new dynamic_trace.gz. This binary is NOT meant to be simulated in gem5, so do not replace this with test_load_store - they serve completely different purposes.

So to rebuild and rerun a simulation of one of the integration tests:

make clean make dma-trace-binary ./test_load_store-instrumented

This will generate a new dynamic_trace.gz

make gem5-accel sh run.sh

For some reason GitHub notifications are not working for me so I was not aware of any of these comments. Sorry for the very delayed response. I just happened to think about this issue today. I've gotten a bit lost on where you are at the moment, but I'll try.

1. test_mmap: this actually does not involve an accelerator, which is why there is no dynamic trace generated. It simply tests that the emulated mmap syscall function works as intended.
2. You have indicated some assertion failures in a few of the integration tests; however, you attached an image, and those images are missing from the comments. Please include the text of the assertion instead of a screenshot.
3. Regarding cache area: this is estimated from CACTI, which requires a configuration file that specifies all the parameters of the cache. Unfortunately this is a poorly integrated aspect of gem5-aladdin: if you change flags like --l1d_size, gem5 does not update the CACTI configuration file, so you don't see any change in area. You'll need to update the config files like test_cacti_cache.cfg, or make a copy of them for your project and set them appropriately.
4. The common directory is simply to store CACTI configuration files that all the integration tests share.

Hi Dr Xi:

My GitHub should be accessed by anyone. My coworkers and students all can access the documents.

1. Thanks for the answer. I will ignore test_mmap.

2. company machine cannot copy the text out, I can only take the picture and sent to you.

3. For the area, I can change the cacti_cache and get different area. Is there any others? Such as cacti_tlb (table look ahead buffer?) that affect the results?

4. Thanks a lot of information.
