Running SPEC2017 benchmarks in SE mode gem5 - running into issues

[Sai Dhawal Phaye]

Hi,

On running a simple 623.xalancbmk benchmark, I get errors. Am I missing something or this is a known issue? Please help.

Command Run:

<PATH>/gem5.opt <PATH>/gem5/configs/example/se.py --cmd="./xalancbmk_s_peak.gem5_baseline_test-m64" --options="-v test.xml xalanc.xsl" --mem-size=16GB --cpu-type=DerivO3CPU --caches --l2cache
