Hello everyone,

I would like to ask 2 questions:

1. Is it possible to run different workloads/binaries in different CPU
   cores in SE mode? That is, in each core in a multi-core system, I want to
   run a different workload/binary.

2. If (1) is possible, is there a way to handle external file dependencies
   that binaries may have? For example, in spec2017, for some benchmarks, the
   executable needs to read files that are in the same directory as it. In a
   single-program simulation, I can run gem5 from the benchmark directory. In
   a multi-program simulation is this somehow possible?

Thank you,
Theodoros Papavasileiou

I don’t believe it’s possible to run multiple processes in SE mode. What you can do is have a single muli-threader process. You could construct a single binary which utilizes pthreads and have each thread it run something different, though this could prove difficult to do.
