Hopefully last issue, I am running the run_bench.py script after creating the parsec-2.1 checkpoints with create_checkpoints.py. The problem is that the benchmarks are running very quickly and the .out and .yml files for each are blank which makes me think that there is something I am missing. Any advice would be appreciated

Generally this means that the machine that you built isn't valid for the image that you're using. To run checkpoints, you're configuration has to be exactly the same: number of cores, memory.

Try running the commands manually first to make sure they work.

I tried to see if it was my configuration that was the issue by rebuilding with only one core, using one of the pre-defined single_core configuration in the file marss/config/default.conf in my configuration file for run_bench. The only things I have changed in that config file from the default is adding a -run command to default_simconfig since the simulation was just hanging without it and changing the memory to 4G to match what was in the create_checkpoints.py file. In create_checkpoints the only changes made were to set the correct paths to qemu and my image which is the parsecROI.img from the Marssx86 site, changing vm_smp to 1, and changing the check_list variable to create the parsec checkpoints. everything else is identical to what was in the git repository when I cloned it and I am still having this issue. Are there any issues that I could be missing?
