checkpoint-tester script tests gem5's checkpoints by
using gem5 to produce a series of checkpoints, each with
a specified interval. After that, for all K > 1,
each of K-th produced checkpoint is used by gem5 to produce
the {K+1}-th checkpoint. The newly produced checkpoint will
be compared against the {K+1}-th checkpoint that was
previously produced.
Previously, in the tester script, the inputs to
`--take-checkpoints X,Y` was `(interval, interval)`.
The intention was to restore the N-th checkpoint and to run
the simulation for `interval` ticks.
According to the current configs/common/Options.py file,
`--take-checkpoints X,Y` means `X` is the starting tick of
the simulation, while `Y` is the number of ticks to be simulated
after tick `X`.
Therefore, `X` should be the starting tick of the N-th checkpont,
and this change addresses this problem.

This is the gem5 simulator. The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/about, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation and http://www.gem5.org/documentation/learning_gem5/introduction. To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang, Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4, and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools. Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture. See http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details and options. The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - configs: example simulation configuration scripts - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5 - src: source code of the gem5 simulator - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems - tests: regression tests - util: useful utility programs and files To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware (console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk images. If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
