Building tools

1) extract tools

$ cd $SPEC/install_archives
$tar -xvf tools-src/tar
$ cp -r tools/src $SPEC/tools

[Done in custom repo] Update TimeDate module to 2.31 for usage in 2020

https://metacpan.org/release/TimeDate

Download link: https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/A/AT/ATOOMIC/TimeDate-2.31.tar.gz

2) You may need to prevent buildtools from dying

in buildtools.sh change:

  echo
      echo "Hey!  Some of the Perl tests failed!"
+      if [ -z "1" ]; then #make this check false
          echo "If you think this is okay, enter y now:"
          read foo

3) Set env variables

FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1
MAKEFLAGS=-j4

4) Run buildtools

$ ./buildtools

5)Source shrc

$ . $SPEC/shrc

** [Optional]To save tools as prebuilt run:**

$ packagetools <name-of-tools>

** 6) Run install.sh**

$ $SPEC/install.sh -d <where_to_install>

How to run prebuilt SPEC

Link to repo with prebuilt tools and config for ARC: https://gitsnps.internal.synopsys.com/arc_oss/spec_cpu2000/tree/sobolev-spec_cpu2017-custom

1) If you have prebuilt tools in $SPEC/tools/bin, then you can run install.sh script:

./install.sh -d <destination dir>

2) Go to directory, where you have installed SPEC with a script. and source shrc file

. ./shrc

3) SPEC tools are located in $SPEC/bin/. But specmake has some problems. You can use usual make instead. Delete specmake and create symlink to system's make

cd $SPEC/bin
rm specmake
ln -s /usr/bin/make specmake

4) SPEC checks sha512sum of tools. Count it for new specmake and replace old sum in $SPEC/TOOLS.sha512 with a new one

sha512sum $SPEC/bin/specmake

5) You should have a config to run SPEC with. One can be found in repo by a link above. Or you can take any default config and edit it. Configs are located in $SPEC/config

6) Run SPEC with appropriate config and tests list You can specify intrate, fprate or list of tests.

runcpu --config=arc.cfg 500.perlbench_r 520.omnetpp_r 523.xalancbmk_r 525.x264_r 531.deepsjeng_r 541.leela_r 548.exchange2_r 557.xz_r

runcpu --config=arc.cfg 503.bwaves_r 508.namd_r 511.povray_r 519.lbm_r 526.blender_r 549.fotonik3d_r

Troubleshooting

Fixed in repo

1. Problem in glob.c in make

add this fix in $SPEC/tools/src/make-4.2.1/glob/glob.c: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51675200/install-older-version-of-gnu-make-in-ubuntu-18-04

2. Delete these lines from wildcard test in $SPEC/tools/src/make-4.2.1/tests/scripts/functions/wildcard

# TEST #5: wildcard used to verify file existence

touch('xxx.yyy');

run_make_test(q!exists: ; @echo file=$(wildcard xxx.yyy)!,
              '', "file=xxx.yyy\n");

unlink('xxx.yyy');

run_make_test(q!exists: ; @echo file=$(wildcard xxx.yyy)!,
              '', "file=\n");
