2014-03-01ruby: profiler: statically allocate stats variableNilay Vaish
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.
2014-01-10ruby: move all statistics to stats.txt, eliminate ruby.statsNilay Vaish
2013-10-15ruby: eliminate non-determinism from ruby.stats outputSteve Reinhardt
Get rid of non-deterministic "stats" in ruby.stats output such as time & date of run, elapsed & CPU time used, and memory usage. These values cause spurious miscomparisons when looking at output diffs (though they don't affect regressions, since the regressions pass/fail status currently ignores ruby.stats entirely). Most of this information is already captured in other places (time & date in stdout, elapsed time & mem usage in stats.txt), where the regression script is smart enough to filter it out. It seems easier to get rid of the redundant output rather than teaching the regression tester to ignore the same information in two different places.
2013-09-06ruby: profiler: removes function resourceUsage()Nilay Vaish
2013-06-25ruby: profiler: lots of inter-related changesNilay Vaish
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.
2013-06-09ruby: remove several unused variables in ProfilerNilay Vaish
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.
2013-06-09ruby: remove periodic event from ProfilerNilay Vaish
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.
2013-06-09ruby: stats: use gem5's stats for cache and memory controllersNilay Vaish
This moves event and transition count statistics for cache controllers to gem5's statistics. It does the same for the statistics associated with the memory controller in ruby. All the cache/directory/dma controllers individually collect the event and transition counts. A callback function, collateStats(), has been added that is invoked on the controller version 0 of each controller class. This function adds all the individual controller statistics to a vector variables. All the code for registering the statistical variables and collating them is generated by SLICC. The patch removes the files *_Profiler.{cc,hh} and *_ProfileDumper.{cc,hh} which were earlier used for collecting and dumping statistics respectively.
2013-05-21ruby: add stats to .sm files, remove cache profilerNilay Vaish ext:(%2C%20Malek%20Musleh%20%3Cmalek.musleh%40gmail.com%3E)
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. --HG-- rename : src/mem/slicc/ast/InfixOperatorExprAST.py => src/mem/slicc/ast/OperatorExprAST.py
2013-04-23ruby: patch checkpoint restore with garnetNilay Vaish
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.
2013-03-22ruby: remove unsued profile functionsNilay Vaish
2013-03-22ruby: keep histogram of outstanding requests in seqNilay Vaish
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.
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for missing declarationsAndreas Hansson
This patch enables warnings for missing declarations. To avoid issues with SWIG-generated code, the warning is only applied to non-SWIG code.
2013-02-19scons: Fix up numerous warnings about name shadowingAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-02-10ruby: enable multiple clock domainsNilay Vaish
This patch allows ruby to have multiple clock domains. As I understand with this patch, controllers can have different frequencies. The entire network needs to run at a single frequency. The idea is that with in an object, time is treated in terms of cycles. But the messages that are passed from one entity to another should contain the time in Ticks. As of now, this is only true for the message buffers, but not for the links in the network. As I understand the code, all the entities in different networks (simple, garnet-fixed, garnet-flexible) should be clocked at the same frequency. Another problem is that the directory controller has to operate at the same frequency as the ruby system. This is because the memory controller does not make use of the Message Buffer, and instead implements a buffer of its own. So, it has no idea of the frequency at which the directory controller is operating and uses ruby system's frequency for scheduling events.
2013-02-10ruby: replace Time with Cycles (final patch in the series)Nilay Vaish
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.
2013-02-10ruby: modifies histogram add() functionNilay Vaish
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.
2013-02-10ruby: record fully busy cycle with in the controllerNilay Vaish
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.
2013-01-14Ruby: use ClockedObject in Consumer classNilay Vaish
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.
2012-11-02ruby: reset and dump stats along with reset of the systemHamid Reza Khaleghzadeh ext:(%2C%20Lluc%20Alvarez%20%3Clluc.alvarez%40bsc.es%3E%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
This patch adds support to ruby so that the statistics maintained by ruby are reset/dumped when the statistics for the rest of the system are reset/dumped. For resetting the statistics, ruby now provides the resetStats() function that a sim object can provide. As a consequence, the clearStats() function has been removed from RubySystem. For dumping stats, Ruby now adds a callback event to the dumpStatsQueue. The exit callback that ruby used to add earlier is being removed. Created by: Hamid Reza Khaleghzadeh.

2012-11-02sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfacesAndreas Sandberg
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is used anywhere in the object hierarchy. This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do not use it.
2012-10-02ruby: makes some members non-staticNilay Vaish
This patch makes some of the members (profiler, network, memory vector) of ruby system non-static.
2012-09-18ruby: eliminate typedef integer_tNilay Vaish
2012-09-10Ruby System: Convert to Clocked ObjectNilay Vaish
This patch moves Ruby System from being a SimObject to recently introduced ClockedObject.
2012-08-27Ruby: Remove RubyEventQueueNilay Vaish
This patch removes RubyEventQueue. Consumer objects now rely on RubySystem or themselves for scheduling events.
2012-07-12Ruby: remove config information from ruby.statsNilay Vaish
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.
2012-04-14clang/gcc: Fix compilation issues with clang 3.0 and gcc 4.6Andreas Hansson
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".
2011-11-03Ruby: Remove some unused typedefsNilay Vaish
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.
2011-08-08BuildEnv: Eliminate RUBY as build environment variableNilay Vaish
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.

2011-06-30Ruby: Add support for functional accessesBrad Beckmann ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
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.

2011-03-22Ruby: Remove CacheMsg class from SLICCNilay Vaish
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.
2011-03-19Ruby: Convert CacheRequestType to RubyRequestTypeNilay Vaish
This patch converts CacheRequestType to RubyRequestType so that both the protocol dependent and independent code makes use of the same request type.
2011-03-19Ruby: Convert AccessModeType to RubyAccessModeNilay Vaish
This patch converts AccessModeType to RubyAccessMode so that both the protocol dependent and independent code uses the same access mode.
2011-02-25Ruby: Remove librubyNilay Vaish
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.

2010-08-20ruby: Reincarnated the responding machine profilingBrad Beckmann
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.
2010-06-10ruby: get rid of PrioHeap and use STLNathan Binkert
One big difference is that PrioHeap puts the smallest element at the top of the heap, whereas stl puts the largest element on top, so I changed all comparisons so they did the right thing. Some usage of PrioHeap was simply changed to a std::vector, using sort at the right time, other usage had me just use the various heap functions in the stl.

2010-04-02ruby: get "using namespace" out of headersNathan Binkert
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.
