### gem5 Python Statistics
|
||||
|
||||
The gem5 Python statistics API has been improved.
|
||||
The gem5 Project's general intent with this improvement is make it easier and more desirable to obtain and interact with gem5 simulation statistics via Python.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the following code snippet demonstrates how to obtain statistics from a gem5 simulation:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from m5.stats.gem5stats import get_simstat
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup and run the configuation ...
|
||||
simstat = get_simstat(board)
|
||||
|
||||
# Print the number of cycles the CPU at index 0 has executed.
|
||||
print(simstat.cpu[0].numCycles)
|
||||
|
||||
# Strings can also be used to access statistics.
|
||||
print(simstat['cpu'][0]['numCycles'])
|
||||
|
||||
# Print the total number of cycles executed by all CPUs.
|
||||
print(sum(simstat.cpu[i].numCycles for i in range(len(simstat.cpu))))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We hope the usage of the gem5 Python statistics API will be more intuitive and easier to use while allowing better processing of statistical data.
