The following name changes are made: * the packet memInhibit flag is renamed to cacheResponding * the packet sharedAsserted flag is renamed to hasSharers * the packet NeedsExclusive attribute is renamed to NeedsWritable * the packet isSupplyExclusive is renamed responderHadWritable * the MSHR pendingDirty is renamed to pendingModified The cache states, Modified, Owned, Exclusive, Shared are also called out in the cache and MSHR code to make it easier to understand.
2015-11-03mem: hmc: adds controllerErfan Azarkhish
This patch models a simple HMC Controller. It simply schedules the incoming packets to HMC Serial Links using a round robin mechanism. This patch should be applied in series with other patches modeling a complete HMC device. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
