Full-system simulation is increasingly used to evaluate the performance of commercial workloads on future multiprocessor designs. However, challenges such as simulation slowdown, sizing constraints, and workload tuning impede the development of commercial workloads for timing simulators. We describe how we address these challenges in our development of four commercial workload benchmarks.
