2012-01-07	Ruby Cache: Add param for marking caches as instruction only	Nilay Vaish

2011-07-26	Ruby: Fix instantiations of DMA controller and sequencer	Nilay Vaish
	The patch on Ruby functional accesses made changes to the process of instantiating controllers and sequencers. The DMA controller and sequencer was not updated, hence this patch.
2011-06-30	Ruby: Add support for functional accesses	Brad Beckmann ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
	This patch rpovides functional access support in Ruby. Currently only the M5Port of RubyPort supports functional accesses. The support for functional through the PioPort will be added as a separate patch.
2011-05-23	config: tweak ruby configs to clean up hierarchy	Steve Reinhardt
	Re-enabling implicit parenting (see previous patch) causes current Ruby config scripts to create some strange hierarchies and generate several warnings. This patch makes three general changes to address these issues. 1. The order of object creation in the ruby config files makes the L1 caches children of the sequencer rather than the controller; these config ciles are rewritten to assign the L1 caches to the controller first. 2. The assignment of the sequencer list to system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports causes the sequencers to be children of system.ruby, generating warnings because they are already parented to their respective controllers. Changing this attribute to _cpu_ruby_ports fixes this because the leading underscore means this is now treated as a plain Python attribute rather than a child assignment. As a result, the configuration hierarchy changes such that, e.g., system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports0 becomes system.l1_cntrl0.sequencer. 3. In the topology classes, the routers become children of some random internal link node rather than direct children of the topology. The topology classes are rewritten to assign the routers to the topology object first.
2011-04-28	network: convert links & switches to first class C++ SimObjects	Brad Beckmann
	This patch converts links and switches from second class simobjects that were virtually ignored by the networks (both simple and Garnet) to first class simobjects that directly correspond to c++ ojbects manipulated by the topology and network classes. This is especially true for Garnet, where the links and switches directly correspond to specific C++ objects. By making this change, many aspects of the Topology class were simplified. --HG-- rename : src/mem/ruby/network/Network.cc => src/mem/ruby/network/BasicLink.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/network/Network.hh => src/mem/ruby/network/BasicLink.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/network/Network.cc => src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/fixed-pipeline/GarnetLink_d.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/network/Network.hh => src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/fixed-pipeline/GarnetLink_d.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/fixed-pipeline/GarnetNetwork_d.py => src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/fixed-pipeline/GarnetLink_d.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/fixed-pipeline/GarnetNetwork_d.py => src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/fixed-pipeline/GarnetRouter_d.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/Network.cc => src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/flexible-pipeline/GarnetLink.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/network/Network.hh => src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/flexible-pipeline/GarnetLink.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/fixed-pipeline/GarnetNetwork_d.py => src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/flexible-pipeline/GarnetLink.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/fixed-pipeline/GarnetNetwork_d.py => src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/flexible-pipeline/GarnetRouter.py

2010-08-20	ruby: Recycle latency fix for hammer	Brad Beckmann
	Patch allows each individual message buffer to have different recycle latencies and allows the overall recycle latency to be specified at the cmd line. The patch also adds profiling info to make sure no one processor's requests are recycled too much.
2010-08-20	ruby: added probe filter support to hammer	Brad Beckmann

2010-08-20	ruby: Disable migratory sharing for token and hammer	Brad Beckmann
	This patch allows one to disable migratory sharing for those cache blocks that are accessed by atomic requests. While the implementations are different between the token and hammer protocols, the motivation is the same. For Alpha, LLSC semantics expect that normal loads do not unlock cache blocks that have been locked by LL accesses. Therefore, locked blocks should not transfer write permissions when responding to these load requests. Instead, only they only transfer read permissions so that the subsequent SC access can possibly succeed.
2010-08-20	ruby: Reduced ruby latencies	Brad Beckmann
	The previous slower ruby latencies created a mismatch between the faster M5 cpu models and the much slower ruby memory system. Specifically smp interrupts were much slower and infrequent, as well as cpus moving in and out of spin locks. The result was many cpus were idle for large periods of time. These changes fix the latency mismatch.
2010-08-20	memtest: Memtester support for DMA	Brad Beckmann
	This patch adds DMA testing to the Memtester and is inherits many changes from Polina's old tester_dma_extension patch. Since Ruby does not work in atomic mode, the atomic mode options are removed.
2010-08-20	config: Improve ruby simobject names	Brad Beckmann
	This patch attaches ruby objects to the system before the topology is created so that their simobject names read their meaningful variable names instead of their topology name.
2010-08-20	config: reorganized how ruby specifies command-line options	Brad Beckmann

2010-08-20	config: moved python protocol config files	Brad Beckmann
	Moved the python protocol config files back to their original location to avoid addToPath calls. --HG-- rename : configs/ruby/protocols/MESI_CMP_directory.py => configs/ruby/MESI_CMP_directory.py rename : configs/ruby/protocols/MI_example.py => configs/ruby/MI_example.py rename : configs/ruby/protocols/MOESI_CMP_directory.py => configs/ruby/MOESI_CMP_directory.py rename : configs/ruby/protocols/MOESI_CMP_token.py => configs/ruby/MOESI_CMP_token.py rename : configs/ruby/protocols/MOESI_hammer.py => configs/ruby/MOESI_hammer.py

2010-03-21	added sparse memory support to hammer	Brad Beckmann

2010-03-21	ruby: Python config files now sets a unique id for each sequencer	Brad Beckmann

2010-01-29	ruby: Memory size consistency check	Brad Beckmann
	Ruby's memory is now sized according to the size of M5 physical memory.
2010-01-29	ruby: convert to M5 MemorySize	Brad Beckmann
	Converted both ruby caches and directory memory to use the M5 MemorySize python type.
2010-01-29	ruby: cleaned up ruby profilers	Brad Beckmann
	Cleaned up the ruby profilers by moving the memory controller profiling code out of the main profiler object and into a separate object similar to the current CacheProfiler. Both the CacheProfiler and MemCntrlProfiler are specific to a particular Ruby object, CacheMemory and MemoryControl respectively. Therefore, these profilers should not be SimObjects and created by the python configuration system, but instead private objects. This simplifies the creation of these profilers.
2010-01-29	ruby: FS support using the new configuration system	Brad Beckmann

2010-01-29	ruby: reorganized ruby python configuration	Brad Beckmann
	Reorganized ruby python configuration so that protocol and ruby memory system configuration code can be shared by multiple front-end configuration files (i.e. memory tester, full system, and hopefully the regression tester). This code works for memory tester, but have not tested fs mode.
