Due to recent changes to clocking system in Ruby and the way Ruby restores
state from a checkpoint, garnet was failing to run from a checkpointed state.
The problem is that Ruby resets the time to zero while warming up the caches.
If any component records a local copy of the time (read calls curCycle())
before the simulation has started, then that component will not operate until
that time is reached. In the context of this particular patch, the Garnet
Network class calls curCycle() at multiple places. Any non-operational
component can block in requests in the memory system, which the system
interprets as a deadlock. This patch makes changes so that Garnet can
successfully run from checkpointed state.
It adds a globally visible time at which the actual execution started. This
time is initialized in RubySystem::startup() function. This variable is only
meant for components with in Ruby. This replaces the private variable that
was maintained within Garnet since it is not possible to figure out the
correct time when the value of this variable can be set.
The patch also does away with all cases where curCycle() is called with in
some Ruby component before the system has actually started executing. This
is required due to the quirky manner in which ruby restores from a checkpoint.

This patch fixes the one-and-only gcc 4.8 compilation error, being a
warning about "maybe uninitialized" in Orion.

This patch address the most important name shadowing warnings (as
produced when using gcc/clang with -Wshadow). There are many
locations where constructor parameters and function parameters shadow
local variables, but these are left unchanged.

This patch was initiated so as to remove reference to g_system_ptr,
the pointer to Ruby System that is used for getting the current time.
That simple change actual requires changing a lot many things in slicc and
garnet. All these changes are related to how time is handled.
In most of the places, g_system_ptr has been replaced by another clock
object. The changes have been done under the assumption that all the
components in the memory system are on the same clock frequency, but the
actual clocks might be distributed.

This patch removes RubyEventQueue. Consumer objects now rely on RubySystem
or themselves for scheduling events.

This patch addresses a number of minor issues that cause problems when
compiling with clang >= 3.0 and gcc >= 4.6. Most importantly, it
avoids using the deprecated ext/hash_map and instead uses
unordered_map (and similarly so for the hash_set). To make use of the
new STL containers, g++ and clang has to be invoked with "-std=c++0x",
and this is now added for all gcc versions >= 4.6, and for clang >=
3.0. For gcc >= 4.3 and <= 4.5 and clang <= 3.0 we use the tr1
unordered_map to avoid the deprecation warning.
The addition of c++0x in turn causes a few problems, as the
compiler is more stringent and adds a number of new warnings. Below,
the most important issues are enumerated:
1) the use of namespaces is more strict, e.g. for isnan, and all
headers opening the entire namespace std are now fixed.
2) another other issue caused by the more stringent compiler is the
narrowing of the embedded python, which used to be a char array,
and is now unsigned char since there were values larger than 128.
3) a particularly odd issue that arose with the new c++0x behaviour is
found in range.hh, where the operator< causes gcc to complain about
the template type parsing (the "<" is interpreted as the beginning
of a template argument), and the problem seems to be related to the
begin/end members introduced for the range-type iteration, which is
a new feature in c++11.
As a minor update, this patch also fixes the build flags for the clang
debug target that used to be shared with gcc and incorrectly use
"-ggdb".

And by "everything" I mean all the quick regressions.

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 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.

allocation and power estimations etc

The code for Orion 2.0 makes use of printf() at several places where there as
an error in configuration of the model. These have been replaced with fatal().
|
|
missing header file caused RUBY_FS to not compile
|
|
Split out dynamic and static power numbers for printing to ruby.stats
|
|
|
|
|
|
Removed the dummy power function implementations so that Orion can implement
them correctly. Since Orion lacks modular design, this patch simply enables
scons to compile it. There are no python configuration changes in this patch.

The necessary companion conversion of Ruby objects generated by SLICC
are converted to M5 SimObjects in the following patch, so this patch
alone does not compile.
Conversion of Garnet network models is also handled in a separate
patch; that code is temporarily disabled from compiling to allow
testing of interim code.

Add the PROTOCOL sticky option sets the coherence protocol that slicc
will parse and therefore ruby will use. This whole process was made
difficult by the fact that the set of files that are output by slicc
are not easily known ahead of time. The easiest thing wound up being
to write a parser for slicc that would tell me. Incidentally this
means we now have a slicc grammar written in python.
|
|
|
|
This basically means changing all #include statements and changing
autogenerated code so that it generates the correct paths. Because
slicc generates #includes, I had to hard code the include paths to
mem/protocol.
|
|
We eventually plan to replace the m5 cache hierarchy with the GEMS
hierarchy, but for now we will make both live alongside eachother.
