PerformanceSimulation_workspace

Example workspace for software performance simulation with ETISS-based performance simulator (WiP!)

Overview

This is an example workspace for the ETISS-based performance simulator. It contains:

• The ETISS-based performance simulator etiss-perf-sim
• The M2-ISA-R-Perf code generator to adjust the performance models
• The Embench benchmark suite, compiled for the CV32E40P (RV32IM) and CVA6 (RV64IM), as a target-software example

First Time Setup

Create workspace

Clone this repository and navigate to its top folder. (The given example uses an SSH-based link; adapt if necessary)

  $ git clone [email protected]:tum-ei-eda/PerformanceSimulation_workspace.git <YOUR_WORKSPACE_NAME>
  $ cd <YOUR_WORKSPACE_NAME>

Switch to the latest release version:

  $ git fetch --tags
  $ git checkout tags/v0.1

Initialize required git-submodules:

  $ git submodule update --init --recursive

Install workspace

Install the workspace by calling:

  $ ./scripts/setup_workspace.sh

Usage

Performance Simulation

Example: Run a performance simulation for the embench-crc32 benchmark on the CV32E40P:

  $ ./scripts/run.sh em:crc32 cv32e40p

Example: Run a performance simulation for the embench-ud benchmark on the CVA6 and create a performance-trace:

  $ ./scripts/run.sh em:ud cva6 -tp=<YOUR/TRACE/PATH>

Example: Run an instruction simulation (without performance estimation) for the embench-crc32 benchmark on the CV32E40P:

  $ ./scripts/run.sh em:crc32 cv32e40p -np

Code Generation

Example: Generate performance estimator from corePerfDsl description, deploy it and re-install ETISS:

  $ ./scripts/code_gen.sh ./code_gen/descriptions/core_perf_dsl/CV32E40P.corePerfDsl

Example: Generate trace printer from monitor description, deploy it and re-install ETISS:

  $ ./scripts/code_gen.sh ./code_gen/descriptions/monitor_descriptions/InstructionTrace_RV64.json
