2013-12-20ruby: mesi: remove owner and sharer fields from directory tagsNilay Vaish
The directory controller should not have the sharer field since there is only one level 2 cache. Anyway the field was not in use. The owner field was being used to track the l2 cache version (in case of distributed l2) that has the cache block under consideration. The information is not required since the version of the level 2 cache can be obtained from a subset of the address bits.
2013-09-06ruby: network: correct naming of routersNilay Vaish
The routers are created before the network class. This results in the routers becoming children of the first link they are connected to and they get generic names like int_node and node_b. This patch creates the network object first and passes it to the topology creation function. Now the routers are children of the network object and names are much more sensible.
2013-08-20ruby: add option for number of transitions per cycleNilay Vaish
The number of transitions per cycle that a controller can carry out is a proxy for the number of ports that a controller has. This value is currently 32 which is way too high. The patch introduces an option for the number of ports and uses this option in the protocol files to set the number of transitions. The default value is being set to 4. None of the se regressions change. Ruby stats for the fs regression change and are being updated.
2013-08-19config: Move the memory instantiation outside FSConfigAndreas Hansson
This patch moves the instantiation of the memory controller outside FSConfig and instead relies on the mem_ranges to pass the information to the caller (e.g. fs.py or one of the regression scripts). The main motivation for this change is to expose the structural composition of the memory system and allow more tuning and configuration without adding a large number of options to the makeSystem functions. The patch updates the relevant example scripts to maintain the current functionality. As the order that ports are connected to the memory bus changes (in certain regresisons), some bus stats are shuffled around. For example, what used to be layer 0 is now layer 1. Going forward, options will be added to support the addition of multi-channel memory controllers.
2013-06-28ruby: check for compatibility between mem size and num dirsNilay Vaish
The configuration scripts provided for ruby assume that the available physical memory is equally distributed amongst the directory controllers. But there is no check to ensure this assumption has been adhered to. This patch adds the required check.
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: Rename clock option to Ruby clockAkash Bagdia
This patch changes the 'clock' option to 'ruby-clock' as it is only used by Ruby.

2013-05-21configs: ruby: pass the option use_map to directory controllerNilay Vaish
The option was not being passed to directory controllers for the protocols MOESI_CMP_token and MOESI_CMP_directory. This was resulting in an error while instantiating the directory controller as it tries to access the wrong type of memory.

2013-03-22ruby: convert Topology to regular classNilay Vaish
The Topology class in Ruby does not need to inherit from SimObject class. This patch turns it into a regular class. The topology object is now created in the constructor of the Network class. All the parameters for the topology class have been moved to the network class.

2013-01-14config: move ruby objects under ruby_system in obj hierarchyMalek Musleh
This patch moves the contollers to be children of the ruby_system instead of 'system' under the python object hierarchy. This is so that these objects can inherit some of the ruby_system's parameter values without resorting to calling a global system pointer during run-time.

2012-10-27Ruby: Use block size in configuring directory bits in addressJason Power ext:(%2C%20Joel%20Hestness%20%3Chestness%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
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.
2012-10-02ruby: changes to simple networkNilay Vaish
This patch makes the Switch structure inherit from BasicRouter, as is done in two other networks.
2012-09-19AddrRange: Simplify AddrRange params Python hierarchyAndreas Hansson
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.
2012-08-16Ruby: Add RubySystem parameter to MemoryControlJason Power
This guarantees that RubySystem object is created before the MemoryController object is created.
2012-08-10Ruby: Clean up topology changesJason Power
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.
2012-07-10ruby: changes how Topologies are createdBrad Beckmann
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. --HG-- rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Crossbar.py => configs/topologies/Crossbar.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Mesh.py => configs/topologies/Mesh.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/MeshDirCorners.py => configs/topologies/MeshDirCorners.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Pt2Pt.py => configs/topologies/Pt2Pt.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Torus.py => configs/topologies/Torus.py
2012-04-06ruby: set SimpleTiming as the default cpuBrad Beckmann
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
2012-04-05Config: corrects the way Ruby attaches to the DMA portsNilay Vaish
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.
2012-03-30Ruby: Remove the physMemPort and instead access memory directlyAndreas Hansson
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).
2012-02-14MEM: Fix master/slave ports in Ruby and non-regression scriptsAndreas Hansson
This patch brings the Ruby and other scripts up to date with the introduction of the master/slave ports.
2012-02-13MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classesAndreas Hansson
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.

2012-01-23O3, Ruby: Forward invalidations from Ruby to O3 CPUNilay Vaish
This patch implements the functionality for forwarding invalidations and replacements from the L1 cache of the Ruby memory system to the O3 CPU. The implementation adds a list of ports to RubyPort. Whenever a replacement or an invalidation is performed, the L1 cache forwards this to all the ports, which is the LSQ in case of the O3 CPU.
2012-01-17MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural portsAndreas Hansson
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 --HG-- rename : src/mem/vport.cc => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/vport.hh => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.hh rename : src/mem/translating_port.cc => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/translating_port.hh => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.hh

2011-11-04GARNET: adding a fault model for resilient on-chip network research.Tushar Krishna
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.
2011-07-26Ruby: Fix instantiations of DMA controller and sequencerNilay 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.
2011-07-25Ruby: Fix dma controller configs/ruby/MI_example.pyNilay Vaish
The dma controller in configs/ruby/MI_example.py was not being set correctly. This patch fixes it.
2011-07-03Network_test: Conform it with functional access changes in RubyNilay Vaish
Addition of functional access support to Ruby necessitated some changes to the way coherence protocols are written. I had forgotten to update the Network_test protocol. This patch makes those updates.
2011-06-30Ruby: Add support for functional accessesBrad 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.
2011-05-23config: tweak ruby configs to clean up hierarchySteve 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.
2011-04-28network: basic link bw for garnet and simple networksBrad Beckmann
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. --HG-- rename : src/mem/ruby/network/BasicLink.cc => src/mem/ruby/network/simple/SimpleLink.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/network/BasicLink.hh => src/mem/ruby/network/simple/SimpleLink.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/network/BasicLink.py => src/mem/ruby/network/simple/SimpleLink.py
2011-04-28network: convert links & switches to first class C++ SimObjectsBrad 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
