2017-11-16	ext, mem: Pull DRAMPower SHA 90d6290 and rebase	Radhika Jagtap
	This patch syncs the DRAMPower library of gem5 to the external github (https://github.com/ravenrd/DRAMPower). The version pulled in is the commit: 90d6290f802c29b3de9e10233ceee22290907ce6 from 30th Oct. 2016. This change also modifies the DRAM Ctrl interaction with the DRAMPower, due to changes in the lib API in the above version. Previously multiple functions were called to prepare the power lib before calling the function that would calculate the enery. With the new API, these functions are encompassed inside the function to calculate the energy and therefore should now be removed from the DRAM controller. The other key difference is the introduction of a new function called calcWindowEnergy which can be useful for any system that wants to do measurements over intervals. For gem5 DRAM ctrl that means we now need to accumulate the window energy measurements into the total stat.

2014-10-09	ext: Add DRAMPower to enable on-line DRAM power modelling	Andreas Hansson
	This patch adds the open-source (BSD 3-clause) tool DRAMPower, commit 8d3cf4bbb10aa202d850ef5e5e3e4f53aa668fa6, to be built as a part of the simulator. We have chosen this specific version of DRAMPower as it provides the necessary functionality, and future updates will be coordinated with the DRAMPower development team. The files added only include the bits needed to build the library, thus excluding all memory specifications, traces, and the stand-alone DRAMPower command-line tool. A future patch includes the DRAMPower functionality in the DRAM controller, to enable on-line DRAM power modelling, and avoid using post-processing of traces.
