regression tester to check this functionality
|
|
1. --implicit-cache behavior is default.
2. makeEnv in src/SConscript is conditionally called.
3. decider set to MD5-timestamp
4. NO_HTML build option changed to SLICC_HTML (defaults to False)

This patch adds support for stalling the requests queued up at different
controllers for the MESI CMP directory protocol. Earlier the controllers
would recycle the requests using some fixed latency. This results in
younger requests getting serviced first at times, and can result in
starvation. Instead all the requests that need a particular block to be
in a stable state are moved to a separate queue, where they wait till
that block returns to a stable state and then they are processed.

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.

This patch changes the access permission for the WB_E_W state from
Busy to Read_Write to avoid having issues in follow-on patches with
functional accesses going through Ruby. This change was made after
consultation with all involved parties and is more of a work-around
than a fix.
|
|
A couple of bugs were observed while building checkpointing support in Ruby.
This patch changes transitions to remove those errors.
|
|
This patch removes calls to uu_ProfileMiss from transitions where the request
is satisfied by the L2 cache controller.

SLICC uses pointers for cache and TBE entries but not for directory entries.
This patch changes the protocols, SLICC and Ruby memory system so that even
directory entries are referenced using pointers.

This patch removes some of the unused typedefs. It also moves
some of the typedefs from Global.hh to TypeDefines.hh. The patch
also eliminates the file NodeID.hh.
|
|
In RubySlicc_ComponentMapping.hh, certain '#define's have been used for
mapping MachineType to GenericMachineType. These '#define's are being
eliminated and the code will now be generated by SLICC instead. Also
are being eliminated some of the unused functions from
RubySlicc_ComponentMapping.sm.

In the current implementation of Functional Accesses, it's very hard to
implement broadcast or snooping protocols where the memory has no idea if it
has exclusive access to a cache block or not. Without this knowledge, making
sure the RW vs. RO permissions are right are next to impossible. So we add a
new state called Backing_Store to enable the conveyance that this is the backup
storage for a block, so that it can be written if it is the only possibly RW
block in the system, or written even if there is another RW block in the
system, without causing problems.
Also, a small change to actually set the m_name field for each Controller so
that debugging can be easier. Now you can access a controller's name just by
controller->getName().

This patch replaces RUBY with PROTOCOL in all the SConscript files as
the environment variable that decides whether or not certain components
of the simulator are compiled.
|
|
|
|
This patch drops RUBY as a compile time option. Instead the PROTOCOL option
is used to figure out whether or not to build Ruby. If the specified protocol
is 'None', then Ruby is not compiled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All protocols must specify their name
The include statement allows any file to include another file.

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.
|
|
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.
|
|
The access permissions for the directory entries are not being set correctly.
This is because pointers are not used for handling directory entries.
function. get and set functions for access permissions have been added to the
Controller state machine. The changePermission() function provided by the
AbstractEntry and AbstractCacheEntry classes has been exposed to SLICC
code once again. The set_permission() functionality has been removed.
NOTE: Each protocol will have to define these get and set functions in order
to compile successfully.

Forgot to add this to MI_example in my previous patch.

Identifying response vnets versus other vnets will allow garnet to
determine which vnets will carry data packets, and which will carry
ctrl packets, and use appropriate buffer sizes (since data packets are larger
than ctrl packets). This in turn allows the orion power model to accurately
estimate buffer power.

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.

Fixed an error reguarding DMA for uninprocessor systems. Basically removed an
overly agressive optimization that lead to inconsistent state between the
cache and the directory.

This function duplicates the functionality of allocate() exactly, except that it does not return
a return value. In protocols where you just want to allocate a block
but do not want that block to be your implicitly passed cache_entry, use this function.
Otherwise, SLICC will complain if you do not consume the pointer returned by allocate(),
and if you do a dummy assignment Entry foo := cache.allocate(address), the C++
compiler will complain of an unused variable. This is kind of a hack to get around
those issues, but suggestions welcome.

This is a substitute for MessageBuffers between controllers where you don't
want messages to actually go through the Network, because requests/responses can
always get reordered wrt to one another (even if you turn off Randomization and turn on Ordered)
because you are, after all, going through a network with contention. For systems where you model
multiple controllers that are very tightly coupled and do not actually go through a network,
it is a pain to have to write a coherence protocol to account for mixed up request/response orderings
despite the fact that it's completely unrealistic. This is *not* meant as a substitute for real
MessageBuffers when messages do in fact go over a network.

It is useful for Ruby to understand from whence request packets came.
This has all request packets going into Ruby pass the contextId value, if
it exists. This supplants the old libruby proc_id value passed around in
all the Messages, so I've also removed the unused unsigned proc_id; member
generated by SLICC for all Message types.

The goal of the patch is to do away with the CacheMsg class currently in use
in coherence protocols. In place of CacheMsg, the RubyRequest class will used.
This class is already present in slicc_interface/RubyRequest.hh. In fact,
objects of class CacheMsg are generated by copying values from a RubyRequest
object.
|
|
The tester code is in testers/networktest.
The tester can be invoked by configs/example/ruby_network_test.py.
A dummy coherence protocol called Network_test is also addded for network-only simulations and testing. The protocol takes in messages from the tester and just pushes them into the network in the appropriate vnet, without storing any state.

This patch converts CacheRequestType to RubyRequestType so that both the
protocol dependent and independent code makes use of the same request type.
|
|
This patch converts AccessModeType to RubyAccessMode so that both the
protocol dependent and independent code uses the same access mode.

In SLICC, in order to define a type a data type for which it should not
generate any code, the keyword external_type is used. For those data types for
which code should be generated, the keyword structure is used. This patch
eliminates the use of keyword external_type for defining structures. structure
key word can now have an optional attribute external, which would be used for
figuring out whether or not to generate the code for this structure. Also, now
structures can have functions as well data members in them.

In order to add stall and wait facility for protocols, a keyword
wake_up_dependents was introduced. This patch removes the keyword,
instead this functionality is now implemented as function call.

This patch integrates permissions with cache and memory states, and then
automates the setting of permissions within the generated code. No longer
does one need to manually set the permissions within the setState funciton.
This patch will faciliate easier functional access support by always correctly
setting permissions for both cache and memory states.
