[PTLsim-devel] PTLSim on AMD-64

Tue Apr 15 21:44:07 EDT 2008

Hi Sasa,
Can I ask you what problem you have on Xeon? 
Because I already installed ptlsim on Xeon machine, I would like to know what problems you have then I can check to see if I have the same problem.
So far, I didn't see any problem although I didn't run any benchmarks yet. I appreciate that if you can tell me some details about the problem you have.
Thank you.

Sorry, I'm not in the PTLSim development team :)
I was telling that from my personal experience, since we also had a lot of problems running PTLSim on our Intel Xeon machines, and we're also planning to switch to AMD64 in near future.

I hope that somebody from the PTLSim dev-team can give us all hints about this?

  Sasa,
  THanks for the info below.  We have been struggling without success to get this working on an Intel Dual-Core Duo.
  Can you tell me which motherboard you used for the AMD machine?  There are several available, each with different
  chipsets, and I want to make sure we get one that is known to work.

  Thanks!
  George

  For stability issue (Xen interface is _very_ fragile), I would personally strongly suggest you to replicate their work environment. Meaning, AMD64 machine with openSuse 10.2. And you should dedicate this machine to PTLSim, because you'll need to do (relatively) frequent reboots.
  good luck!
