invalidate was defined as a separate function in the base associative
and fully-associative tags classes although both functions should
implement identical functionality. This patch moves the invalidate
function in the base tags class.

The warmupPercentage is the percentage of different tags (based on the
cache size) that need to be touched in order to warm up the cache.
If Warmup failed (i.e., not enough tags were touched), warmup_cycle = 0.
The warmup is not being taken into account to calculate the stats (i.e.,
stats acquisition starts before cache is warmed up). Maybe in the future
this functionality should be added.

Standardize all header guards in the mem directory according to the most
frequent patterns. In general they have the form:
mem: __FOLDER_TREE_FILE_NAME_HH__
ruby: __FOLDER_TREE_FILENAME_HH__

If the cache access mode is parallel, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter
is set to "False", tags and data are accessed in parallel. Therefore,
the hit_latency is the maximum latency between tag_latency and
data_latency. On the other hand, if the cache access mode is
sequential, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter is set to "True",
tags and data are accessed sequentially. Therefore, the hit_latency
is the sum of tag_latency plus data_latency.

Cleaning up dead code. The CLREX stores zero directly to
MISCREG_LOCKFLAG and so the request flag is no longer needed. The
corresponding functionality in the cache tags is also removed.
|
|
This patch makes cache sets aware of the way number. This enables
some nice features such as the ablity to restrict way allocation. The
implemented mechanism allows to set a maximum way number to be
allocated 'k' which must fulfill 0 < k <= N (where N is the number of
ways). In the future more sophisticated mechasims can be implemented.
|
|
This patch changes the cache implementation to rely on virtual methods
rather than using the replacement policy as a template argument.
There is no impact on the simulation performance, and overall the
changes make it easier to modify (and subclass) the cache and/or
replacement policy.
|

This patch adds some much-needed clarity in the specification of the
cache timing. For now, hit_latency and response_latency are kept as
top-level parameters, but the cache itself has a number of local
variables to better map the individual timing variables to different
behaviours (and sub-components).
The introduced variables are:
- lookupLatency: latency of tag lookup, occuring on any access
- forwardLatency: latency that occurs in case of outbound miss
- fillLatency: latency to fill a cache block
We keep the existing responseLatency
The forwardLatency is used by allocateInternalBuffer() for:
- MSHR allocateWriteBuffer (unchached write forwarded to WriteBuffer);
- MSHR allocateMissBuffer (cacheable miss in MSHR queue);
- MSHR allocateUncachedReadBuffer (unchached read allocated in MSHR
queue)
It is our assumption that the time for the above three buffers is the
same. Similarly, for snoop responses passing through the cache we use
forwardLatency.

Adds very basic statistics on the number of tag and data accesses within the
cache, which is important for power modelling. For the tags, simply count
the associativity of the cache each time. For the data, this depends on
whether tags and data are accessed sequentially, which is given by a new
parameter. In the parallel case, all data blocks are accessed each time, but
with sequential accesses, a single data block is accessed only on a hit.
|

This patch enables tracking of cache occupancy per thread along with
ages (in buckets) per cache blocks. Cache occupancy stats are
recalculated on each stat dump.
|
|
This patch reorganizes the cache tags to allow more flexibility to
implement new replacement policies. The base tags class is now a
clocked object so that derived classes can use a clock if they need
one. Also having deriving from SimObject allows specialized Tag
classes to be swapped in/out in .py files.
The cache set is now templatized to allow it to contain customized
cache blocks with additional informaiton. This involved moving code to
the .hh file and removing cacheset.cc.
The statistics belonging to the cache tags are now including ".tags"
in their name. Hence, the stats need an update to reflect the change
in naming.

This patch provides useful printouts throughut the memory system. This
includes pretty-printed cache tags and function call messages
(call-stack like).
|
|
This patch adds support for the following optional drain methods in
the classical memory system's cache model:
memWriteback() - Write back all dirty cache lines to memory using
functional accesses.
memInvalidate() - Invalidate all cache lines. Dirty cache lines
are lost unless a writeback is requested.
Since memWriteback() is called when checkpointing systems, this patch
adds support for checkpointing systems with caches. The serialization
code now checks whether there are any dirty lines in the cache. If
there are dirty lines in the cache, the checkpoint is flagged as bad
and a warning is printed.
|
|
This patch fixes the cache stats to use the new request ids.
Cache stats also display the requestor names in the vector subnames.
Most cache stats now include "nozero" and "nonan" flags to reduce the
amount of excessive cache stat dump. Also, simplified
incMissCount()/incHitCount() functions.

On the config end, if a shared L2 is created for the system, it is
parameterized to have n sharers as defined by option.num_cpus. In addition to
making the cache sharing aware so that discriminating tag policies can make use
of context_ids to make decisions, I added an occupancy AverageStat and an occ %
stat to each cache so that you could know which contexts are occupying how much
cache on average, both in terms of blocks and percentage. Note that since
devices have context_id -1, having an array of occ stats that correspond to
each context_id will break here, so in FS mode I add an extra bucket for device
blocks. This bucket is explicitly not added in SE mode in order to not only
avoid ugliness in the stats.txt file, but to avoid broken stats (some formulas
break when a bucket is 0).
