This patch replaces hard coded values used in Ruby's configuration files
for setting directory bits with values based on the block size in use.
|
|
This patch makes the Switch structure inherit from BasicRouter, as is
done in two other networks.
|
|
This patch simplifies the Range object hierarchy in preparation for an
address range class that also allows striping (e.g. selecting a few
bits as matching in addition to the range).
To extend the AddrRange class to an AddrRegion, the first step is to
simplify the hierarchy such that we can make it as lean as possible
before adding the new functionality. The only class using Range and
MetaRange is AddrRange, and the three classes are now collapsed into
one.

This patch moves instantiateTopology into Ruby.py and removes the
mem/ruby/network/topologies directory. It also adds some extra inheritance to
the topologies to clean up some issues in the existing topologies.
|
|
Instead of just passing a list of controllers to the makeTopology function
in src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/<Topo>.py we pass in a function pointer
which knows how to make the topology, possibly with some extra state set
in the configs/ruby/<protocol>.py file. Thus, we can move all of the files
from network/topologies to configs/topologies. A new class BaseTopology
is added which all topologies in configs/topologies must inheirit from and
follow its API.

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.

With recent changes to the memory system, a port cannot be assigned a peer
port twice. While making use of the Ruby memory system in FS mode, DMA
ports were assigned peer twice, once for the classic memory system
and once for the Ruby memory system. This patch removes this double
assignment of peer ports.
|
|
This patch removes the physMemPort from the RubySequencer and instead
uses the system pointer to access the physmem. The system already
keeps track of the physmem and the valid memory address ranges, and
with this patch we merely make use of that existing functionality. The
memory is modified so that it is possible to call the access functions
(atomic and functional) without going through the port, and the memory
is allowed to be unconnected, i.e. have no ports (since Ruby does not
attach it like the conventional memory system).
|
|
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave
and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such
as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and
conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives
requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no
differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves.
The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual
role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the
system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the
interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and
slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to
facilitate the extra port.
Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++
world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the
port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is
carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master =
memory.port. The following patches will make use of the
classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

This patch moves the connection of the system port to create_system in
Ruby.py. Thereby it allows the failing Ruby test (and other Ruby
systems) to run again.

Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.
The following replacements are made:
FunctionalPort > PortProxy
TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy
VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy

The Ruby Tracer is out of date with the changes that are being carried
out to support checkpointing. Hence, it needs to be removed.

This patch adds a fault model, which provides the probability of a number of
architectural faults in the interconnection network (e.g., data corruption,
misrouting). These probabilities can be used to realistically inject faults
in GARNET and faithfully evaluate the effectiveness of novel resilient NoC
architectures.

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.

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.

This patch ensures that both Garnet and the simple networks use the bw value
specified in the topology. To do so, the patch generalizes the specification
of bw for basic links. This value is then translated to the specific value
used by the simple and Garnet networks. Since Garent does not support
non-uniformed link bandwidth, the patch also adds a check to ensure all bws are
equal.

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.

The patch creates a specific mesh network where directories are at the corners.
The patch is a good example of how to create an arbitrary network, similar to
the old file specified network, while leveraging scripts and loops when
possible.

Ruby's memory is now sized according to the size of M5 physical memory.
|
|
Converted both ruby caches and directory memory to use the M5 MemorySize python
type.
|
|
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.

removed the static function RubySystem::getNumberOfSequencers and replaced
it with a python config variable
|

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.
