The aim is to ultimately do away with the static function
Network::getNumberOfVirtualNetworks().

This is another step in the process of removing global variables
from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.
The list of abstract controllers is per-RubySystem and should be
represented that way, rather than as a global.
Since this is the last remaining Ruby global variable, the
src/mem/ruby/Common/Global.* files are also removed.

This is another step in the process of removing global variables
from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.
With possibly multiple RubySystem objects, we can no longer use a global
variable to find "the" RubySystem object. Instead, each Ruby component
has to carry a pointer to the RubySystem object to which it belongs.

The directory ruby/system is crowded and unorganized. Hence, the files the
hold actual physical structures, are being moved to the directory
ruby/structures. This includes Cache Memory, Directory Memory,
Memory Controller, Wire Buffer, TBE Table, Perfect Cache Memory, Timer Table,
Bank Array.
The directory ruby/systems has the glue code that holds these structures
together.

Couple of users observed segmentation fault when the simulator tries to
register the statistical variable m_IncompleteTimes. It seems that there
is some problem with the initialization of these variables when allocated
in the constructor.

The patch started of with removing the global variables from the profiler for
profiling the miss latency of requests made to the cache. The corrresponding
histograms have been moved to the Sequencer. These are combined together when
the histograms are printed. Separate histograms are now maintained for
tracking latency of all requests together, of hits only and of misses only.
A particular set of histograms used to use the type GenericMachineType defined
in one of the protocol files. This patch removes this type. Now, everything
that relied on this type would use MachineType instead. To do this, SLICC has
been changed so that multiple machine types can be declared by a controller
in its preamble.

This patch removes per processor cycle count, histogram for filter stats,
histogram for multicasts, histogram for prefetch wait, some function
prototypes that do not have definitions.
|
|
The Profiler class does not need an event for dumping statistics
periodically. This is because there is a method for dumping statistics
for all the sim objects periodically. Since Ruby is a sim object, its
statistics are also included.
|
|
This patch changes the way cache statistics are collected in ruby.
As of now, there is separate entity called CacheProfiler which holds
statistical variables for caches. The CacheMemory class defines different
functions for accessing the CacheProfiler. These functions are then invoked
in the .sm files. I find this approach opaque and prone to error. Secondly,
we probably should not be paying the cost of a function call for recording
statistics.
Instead, this patch allows for accessing statistical variables in the
.sm files. The collection would become transparent. Secondly, it would happen
in place, so no function calls. The patch also removes the CacheProfiler class.

The histogram for tracking outstanding counts per cycle is maintained
in the profiler. For a parallel implementation of the memory system, we
need that this histogram is maintained locally. Hence it will now be
kept in the sequencer itself. The resulting histograms will be merged
when the stats are printed.
|
|
This patch is as of now the final patch in the series of patches that replace
Time with Cycles.This patch further replaces Time with Cycles in Sequencer,
Profiler, different protocols and related entities.
Though Time has not been completely removed, the places where it is in use
seem benign as of now.

This patch modifies the Histogram class' add() function so that it can add
linear histograms as well. The function assumes that the left end point of
the ranges of the two histograms are the same. It also assumes that when
the ranges of the two histogram are changed to accomodate an element not in
the range, the factor used in changing the range is same for both the
histograms.
This function is then used in removing one of the calls to the global
profiler*. The histograms for recording the delays incurred in processing
different requests are now maintained by the controllers. The profiler
adds these histograms when it needs to print the stats.
|
|
This patch does several things. First, the counter for fully busy cycles for a
controller is now kept with in the controller, instead of being part of the profiler.
Second, the topology class no longer keeps an array of controllers which was only
used for printing stats. Instead, ruby system will now ask each controller to print
the stats. Thirdly, the statistical variable for recording how many different types
were created is being moved in to the controller from the profiler. Note that for
printing, the profiler will collate results from different controllers.

Many Ruby structures inherit from the Consumer, which is used for scheduling
events. The Consumer used to relay on an Event Manager for scheduling events
and on g_system_ptr for time. With this patch, the Consumer will now use a
ClockedObject to schedule events and to query for current time. This resulted
in several structures being converted from SimObjects to ClockedObjects. Also,
the MessageBuffer class now requires a pointer to a ClockedObject so as to
query for time.
|
|
|
|
This patch removes RubyEventQueue. Consumer objects now rely on RubySystem
or themselves for scheduling events.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|

|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
This patch removes libruby_internal.hh, libruby.hh and libruby.cc. It moves
the contents to libruby.hh to RubyRequest.hh and RubyRequest.cc files.
|

Get rid of the Debug class
Get rid of ASSERT and use assert
Use DPRINTFR for ProtocolTrace
|
|
This patch tracks the number of cycles a transaction is delayed at different
points of the request-forward-response loop.
|
|
This patch adds back to ruby the capability to understand the response time
for messages that hit in different levels of the cache heirarchy.
Specifically add support for the MI_example, MOESI_hammer, and MOESI_CMP_token
protocols.
|
|
|
|
add a couple of helper functions to base for deleteing all pointers in
a container and outputting containers to a stream
|
|
In addition to obvious changes, this required a slight change to the slicc
grammar to allow types with :: in them. Otherwise slicc barfs on std::string
which we need for the headers that slicc generates.

Cleaned up the ruby profilers by moving the memory controller profiling code
out of the main profiler object and into a separate object similar to the
current CacheProfiler. Both the CacheProfiler and MemCntrlProfiler are
specific to a particular Ruby object, CacheMemory and MemoryControl
respectively. Therefore, these profilers should not be SimObjects and
created by the python configuration system, but instead private objects. This
simplifies the creation of these profilers.
|
|
removed the static function RubySystem::getNumberOfSequencers and replaced
it with a python config variable
|
|
This patch includes a rather substantial change to the memory controller
profiler in order to work with the new configuration system. Most
noteably, the mem_cntrl_profiler no longer uses a string map, but instead
a vector. Eventually this support should be removed from the main
profiler and go into a separate object. Each memory controller should have
a pointer to that new mem_cntrl profile object.
|
|
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.

Caches are now responsible for their own statistic gathering. This
requires a direct callback from the protocol on misses, and so all
future protocols need to take this into account.
|
|
|
|
This was done with an automated process, so there could be things that were
done in this tree in the past that didn't make it. One known regression
is that atomic memory operations do not seem to work properly anymore.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
1) Removing files from the ruby build left some unresovled
symbols. Those have been fixed.
2) Most of the dependencies on Simics data types and the simics
interface files have been removed.
3) Almost all mention of opal is gone.
4) Huge chunks of LogTM are now gone.
5) Handling 1-4 left ~hundreds of unresolved references, which were
fixed, yielding a snowball effect (and the massive size of this
delta).

We eventually plan to replace the m5 cache hierarchy with the GEMS
hierarchy, but for now we will make both live alongside eachother.
