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
2014-08-10config: Fix cache latency param in mem testRadhika Jagtap
This patch fixes the cache latency in mem test which is split into two params, hit and response latency as per BaseCache.

2013-07-18config: Update script to set cache line size on systemAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the config scripts such that they do not set the cache line size per cache instance, but rather for the system as a whole.
2013-06-27sim: Add the notion of clock domains to all ClockedObjectsAkash Bagdia
This patch adds the notion of source- and derived-clock domains to the ClockedObjects. As such, all clock information is moved to the clock domain, and the ClockedObjects are grouped into domains. The clock domains are either source domains, with a specific clock period, or derived domains that have a parent domain and a divider (potentially chained). For piece of logic that runs at a derived clock (a ratio of the clock its parent is running at) the necessary derived clock domain is created from its corresponding parent clock domain. For now, the derived clock domain only supports a divider, thus ensuring a lower speed compared to its parent. Multiplier functionality implies a PLL logic that has not been modelled yet (create a separate clock instead). The clock domains should be used as a mechanism to provide a controllable clock source that affects clock for every clocked object lying beneath it. The clock of the domain can (in a future patch) be controlled by a handler responsible for dynamic frequency scaling of the respective clock domains. All the config scripts have been retro-fitted with clock domains. For the System a default SrcClockDomain is created. For CPUs that run at a different speed than the system, there is a seperate clock domain created. This domain incorporates the CPU and the associated caches. As before, Ruby runs under its own clock domain. The clock period of all domains are pre-computed, such that no virtual functions or multiplications are needed when calling clockPeriod. Instead, the clock period is pre-computed when any changes occur. For this to be possible, each clock domain tracks its children.
2013-06-27config: Add a system clock command-line optionAkash Bagdia
This patch adds a 'sys_clock' command-line option and use it to assign clocks to the system during instantiation. As part of this change, the default clock in the System class is removed and whenever a system is instantiated a system clock value must be set. A default value is provided for the command-line option. The configs and tests are updated accordingly.
2012-09-27Configs: Fix memtest cache latency to match new parametersAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the memtest config to use the new response latency of the cache model.
2012-09-27Configs: Fix memtest.py by moving the system portAndreas Hansson
The memtest.py script used to connect the system port directly to the SimpleMemory, but the latter is now single ported. Since the system port is not used for anything in this particular example, a quick fix is to attach it to the functional bus instead.
2012-07-12Mem: Make SimpleMemory single portedAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the simple memory to have a single slave port rather than a vector port. The simple memory makes no attempts at modelling the contention between multiple ports, and any such multiplexing and demultiplexing could be done in a bus (or crossbar) outside the memory controller. This scenario also matches with the ongoing work on a SimpleDRAM model, which will be a single-ported single-channel controller that can be used in conjunction with a bus (or crossbar) to create a multi-port multi-channel controller. There are only very few regressions that make use of the vector port, and these are all for functional accesses only. To facilitate these cases, memtest and memtest-ruby have been updated to also have a "functional" bus to perform the (de)multiplexing of the functional memory accesses.
2012-05-31Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent busAndreas Hansson
This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one, and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses. A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses, and is typically used for the I/O buses. A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system interconnect. The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all peripheral and I/O buses. A bit of minor tidying up has also been done. --HG-- rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_bus.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_bus.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh
2012-04-06MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memoriesAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous address range. All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory. To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut" accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and any potential ACPI tables. Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible re-organisation. --HG-- rename : src/mem/PhysicalMemory.py => src/mem/AbstractMemory.py rename : src/mem/PhysicalMemory.py => src/mem/SimpleMemory.py rename : src/mem/physical.cc => src/mem/abstract_mem.cc rename : src/mem/physical.hh => src/mem/abstract_mem.hh rename : src/mem/physical.cc => src/mem/simple_mem.cc rename : src/mem/physical.hh => src/mem/simple_mem.hh
2012-02-14MEM: Fix residual bus ports and make them master/slaveAndreas Hansson
This patch cleans up a number of remaining uses of bus.port which is now split into bus.master and bus.slave. The only non-trivial change is the memtest where the level building now has to be aware of the role of the ports used in the previous level.

2010-08-17sim: make Python Root object a singletonSteve Reinhardt
Enforce that the Python Root SimObject is instantiated only once. The C++ Root object already panics if more than one is created. This change avoids the need to track what the root object is, since it's available from Root.getInstance() (if it exists). It's now redundant to have the user pass the root object to functions like instantiate(), checkpoint(), and restoreCheckpoint(), so that arg is gone. Users who use configs/common/Simulate.py should not notice.
