Request for clarification of queries regd. executing the simulation #99

Hi team, As per suggestion from Prof. Matthias Jung, I have asked my queries in this issue.

1) After compilation of the code through the make -j4 DRAMPower command as mentioned in the Installation section, may I ask how would I get to know the simulation statistical data through trace files?

2) May I ask if there's any command to run executable file after compilation is complete?

3) Does LPDDR4 simulation consider the efficient power saving techniques as compared to DDR4 and do we have to enable any separate simulation flag while running the simulation?

I request your help with these queries.

Thanks

The command line tool is not yet updated to the latest version of DRAMPower. The "make -j4 DRAMPower" only builds a library, which can be included into your own DRAM simulator. You can check the tests to understand how to interact with the library. When you simulate LPDDR4 the core power calculation is based on the currents specified in the vendor datasheets, while the interface calculation is based on physical equations.
