2015-12-07config: Enable elastic trace capture and replay in se/fsRadhika Jagtap
This patch adds changes to the configuration scripts to support elastic tracing and replay. The patch adds a command line option to enable elastic tracing in SE mode and FS mode. When enabled the Elastic Trace cpu probe is attached to O3CPU and a few O3 CPU parameters are tuned. The Elastic Trace probe writes out both instruction fetch and data dependency traces. The patch also enables configuring the TraceCPU to replay traces using the SE and FS script. The replay run is designed to resume from checkpoint using atomic cpu to restore state keeping it consistent with FS run flow. It then switches to TraceCPU to replay the input traces.
2015-11-22config: Minor fixes to the DRAM utilisation sweepAndreas Hansson
2015-09-25util: Fix minor issues in DRAM sweep scriptsAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a few issues in the sweep scripts, bringing them up-to-date with the latest memory configs and options.
2015-05-15config: Use null memory for DRAM sweep scriptAndreas Hansson
Do not waste time when we do not care about the data.
2015-05-15config: Add new MemConfig options to DRAM sweep scriptWendy Elsasser
Update script to match current MemConfig options with external_memory_system option set to 0.
2015-04-20config: Remove memory aliases and rely on class nameAndreas Hansson
Instead of maintaining two lists, rely entirely on the class name. There is really no point in causing unecessary confusion.
2015-03-19config: Fix DRAM rank option in sweep scriptAndreas Hansson
Align with changes in the common bits.
2015-03-02mem: Move crossbar default latencies to subclassesAndreas Hansson
This patch introduces a few subclasses to the CoherentXBar and NoncoherentXBar to distinguish the different uses in the system. We use the crossbar in a wide range of places: interfacing cores to the L2, as a system interconnect, connecting I/O and peripherals, etc. Needless to say, these crossbars have very different performance, and the clock frequency alone is not enough to distinguish these scenarios. Instead of trying to capture every possible case, this patch introduces dedicated subclasses for the three primary use-cases: L2XBar, SystemXBar and IOXbar. More can be added if needed, and the defaults can be overridden.
2014-09-20mem: Rename Bus to XBar to better reflect its behaviourAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the name of the Bus classes to XBar to better reflect the actual timing behaviour. The actual instances in the config scripts are not renamed, and remain as e.g. iobus or membus. As part of this renaming, the code has also been clean up slightly, making use of range-based for loops and tidying up some comments. The only changes outside the bus/crossbar code is due to the delay variables in the packet. --HG-- rename : src/mem/Bus.py => src/mem/XBar.py rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/xbar.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/xbar.hh
2014-09-20cpu: Update DRAM traffic genWendy Elsasser
Add new DRAM_ROTATE mode to traffic generator. This mode will generate DRAM traffic that rotates across banks per rank, command types, and ranks per channel The looping order is illustrated below: for (ranks per channel) for (command types) for (banks per rank) // Generate DRAM Command Series This patch also adds the read percentage as an input argument to the DRAM sweep script. If the simulated read percentage is 0 or 100, the middle for loop does not generate additional commands. This loop is used only when the read percentage is set to 50, in which case the middle loop will toggle between read and write commands. Modified sweep.py script, which generates DRAM traffic. Added input arguments and support for new DRAM_ROTATE mode. The script now has input arguments for: 1) Read percentage 2) Number of ranks 3) Address mapping 4) Traffic generator mode (DRAM or DRAM_ROTATE) The default values are: 100% reads, 1 rank, RoRaBaCoCh address mapping, and DRAM traffic gen mode For the DRAM traffic mode, added multi-rank support.
2014-09-03mem: Add utility script to plot DRAM efficiency sweepAndreas Hansson
This patch adds basic functionality to quickly visualise the output from the DRAM efficiency script. There are some unfortunate hacks needed to communicate the needed information from one script to the other, and we fall back on (ab)using the simout to do this. As part of this patch we also trim the efficiency sweep to stop at 512 bytes as this should be sufficient for all forseeable DRAMs.
2014-05-09config: Bump DRAM sweep bus speed to match DDR4 configAndreas Hansson
This patch bumps the bus clock speed such that the interconnect does not become a bottleneck with a DDR4-2400-x64 DRAM delivering 19.2 GByte/s theoretical max.
2014-03-23mem: Rename SimpleDRAM to a more suitable DRAMCtrlAndreas Hansson
This patch renames the not-so-simple SimpleDRAM to a more suitable DRAMCtrl. The name change is intended to ensure that we do not send the wrong message (although the "simple" in SimpleDRAM was originally intended as in cleverly simple, or elegant). As the DRAM controller modelling work is being presented at ISPASS'14 our hope is that a broader audience will use the model in the future. --HG-- rename : src/mem/SimpleDRAM.py => src/mem/DRAMCtrl.py rename : src/mem/simple_dram.cc => src/mem/dram_ctrl.cc rename : src/mem/simple_dram.hh => src/mem/dram_ctrl.hh
2014-03-23config: Add a DRAM efficiency-sweep scriptAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a configuration that simplifies evaluation of DRAM controller configurations by automating a sweep of stride size and bank parallelism. It works in a rather unconventional way, as it needs to print the traffic generator stimuli based on the memory organisation. Hence, it starts by configuring the memory, then it prints a traffic-generator config file, and loads it. The resulting stats have one period per data point, identified by the stride size, and the number of banks being used.
