This patch moves instantiateTopology into Ruby.py and removes the
mem/ruby/network/topologies directory. It also adds some extra inheritance to
the topologies to clean up some issues in the existing topologies.
|
|
This patch removes printConfig() functions from all structures in Ruby.
Most of the information is already part of config.ini, and where ever it
is not, it would become in due course.

ruby: fixed fatal print statement
|
|
Instead of just passing a list of controllers to the makeTopology function
in src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/<Topo>.py we pass in a function pointer
which knows how to make the topology, possibly with some extra state set
in the configs/ruby/<protocol>.py file. Thus, we can move all of the files
from network/topologies to configs/topologies. A new class BaseTopology
is added which all topologies in configs/topologies must inheirit from and
follow its API.

The computation for link utilization was incorrect for the flexible network.
The utilization was being divided twice by the total time.

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".

This patch removes the overriding of "-Werror" in a handful of
cases. The code compiles with gcc 4.6.3 and clang 3.0 without any
warnings, and thus without any errors. There are no functional changes
introduced by this patch. In the future, rather than ypassing
"-Werror", address the warnings.

This patch
(1) Moves redundant code from fixed and flexible networks to BaseGarnetNetwork.
(2) Prints network stats at vnet granularity.

This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript
files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX
XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by
clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions,
comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty
bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also
fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names
that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in
kernel_stats.hh).
clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which
causes confusion between the container std::set and the function
Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the
entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in
the appropriate places.

This patch adds and removes included files from some of the files so as to
organize remove some false dependencies and include some files directly
instead of transitively.

This patch adds a fault model, which provides the probability of a number of
architectural faults in the interconnection network (e.g., data corruption,
misrouting). These probabilities can be used to realistically inject faults
in GARNET and faithfully evaluate the effectiveness of novel resilient NoC
architectures.

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.

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 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.

Re-enabling implicit parenting (see previous patch) causes current
Ruby config scripts to create some strange hierarchies and generate
several warnings. This patch makes three general changes to address
these issues.
1. The order of object creation in the ruby config files makes the L1
caches children of the sequencer rather than the controller; these
config ciles are rewritten to assign the L1 caches to the
controller first.
2. The assignment of the sequencer list to system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports
causes the sequencers to be children of system.ruby, generating
warnings because they are already parented to their respective
controllers. Changing this attribute to _cpu_ruby_ports fixes this
because the leading underscore means this is now treated as a plain
Python attribute rather than a child assignment. As a result, the
configuration hierarchy changes such that, e.g.,
system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports0 becomes system.l1_cntrl0.sequencer.
3. In the topology classes, the routers become children of some random
internal link node rather than direct children of the topology.
The topology classes are rewritten to assign the routers to the
topology object first.

The virtual channels within "response" vnets are made buffers_per_data_vc
deep (default=4), while virtual channels within other vnets are made
buffers_per_ctrl_vc deep (default = 1). This is for accurate power estimates.
|
|
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.
|
|
Renamed (message) class to vnet for consistency with rest of ruby.
Moved some parameters specific to fixed/flexible garnet networks into their
corresponding py files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore all links by default are 16 bytes wide and thus work with Garnet's
uniform link bandwidth assumption.
|
|
|
|
The simple network's endpoint bandwidth value is used to adjust the overall
bandwidth of the network. Specifically, the ration between endpoint bandwidth
and the MESSAGE_SIZE_MULTIPLIER determines the increase. By setting the value
to 1000, that means the bandwdith factor specified in the links translates to
the link bandwidth in bytes. Previously, it was increasing that value by 10.
This patch will likely require a reset of the ruby regression tester stats.
|
|
|
|
Moved the buffer_size, endpoint_bandwidth, and adaptive_routing params out of
the top-level parent network object and to only those networks that actually
use those parameters.
|
|
This patch ensures that both Garnet and the simple networks use the bw value
specified in the topology. To do so, the patch generalizes the specification
of bw for basic links. This value is then translated to the specific value
used by the simple and Garnet networks. Since Garent does not support
non-uniformed link bandwidth, the patch also adds a check to ensure all bws are
equal.

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.

At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help

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.

At a couple of places in PerfectSwitch.cc and MessageBuffer.cc, DPRINTF()
has not been provided with correct number of arguments. The patch fixes these
bugs.
|
|
Overall, continue to progress Ruby debug messages to more of the normal M5
debug message style
- add a name() to the Ruby Throttle & PerfectSwitch objects so that the debug output
isn't littered w/"global:" everywhere.
- clean up messages that print over multiple lines when possible
- clean up duplicate prints in the message buffer
|
|
Currently the wakeup function for the PerfectSwitch contains three loops -
loop on number of virtual networks
loop on number of incoming links
loop till all messages for this (link, network) have been routed
With an 8 processor mesh network and Hammer protocol, about 11-12% of the
was observed to have been spent in this function, which is the highest
amongst all the functions. It was found that the innermost loop is executed
about 45 times per invocation of the wakeup function, when each invocation
of the wakeup function processes just about one message.
The patch tries to do away with the redundant executions of the innermost
loop. Counters have been added for each virtual network that record the
number of messages that need to be routed for that virtual network. The
inner loops are only executed when the number of messages for that particular
virtual network > 0. This does away with almost 80% of the executions of the
innermost loop. The function now consumes about 5-6% of the total execution
time.
