2015-08-14	ruby: replace Address by Addr	Nilay Vaish
	This patch eliminates the type Address defined by the ruby memory system. This memory system would now use the type Addr that is in use by the rest of the system.
2015-08-14	ruby: Remove the RubyCache/CacheMemory latency	Joel Hestness
	The RubyCache (CacheMemory) latency parameter is only used for top-level caches instantiated for Ruby coherence protocols. However, the top-level cache hit latency is assessed by the Sequencer as accesses flow through to the cache hierarchy. Further, protocol state machines should be enforcing these cache hit latencies, but RubyCaches do not expose their latency to any existng state machines through the SLICC/C++ interface. Thus, the RubyCache latency parameter is superfluous for all caches. This is confusing for users. As a step toward pushing L0/L1 cache hit latency into the top-level cache controllers, move their latencies out of the RubyCache declarations and over to their Sequencers. Eventually, these Sequencer parameters should be exposed as parameters to the top-level cache controllers, which should assess the latency. NOTE: Assessing these latencies in the cache controllers will require modifying each to eliminate instantaneous Ruby hit callbacks in transitions that finish accesses, which is likely a large undertaking.
2015-07-20	ruby: expose access permission to replacement policies	David Hashe
	This patch adds support that allows the replacement policy to identify each cache block's access permission. This information can be useful when making replacement decisions.
2015-07-20	ruby: fix deadlock bug in banked array resource checks	David Hashe
	The Ruby banked array resource checks (initiated from SLICC) did a check and allocate at the same time. If a transition needs more than one resource, then it might check/allocate resource #1, then fail to get resource #2. Another transition might then try to get the same resources, but in reverse order. Deadlock. This patch separates resource checking and resource reservation into two steps to avoid deadlock.
2015-07-20	ruby: allocate a block in CacheMemory without updating LRU state	David Hashe

2015-07-20	ruby: speed up function used for cache walks	David Hashe
	This patch adds a few helpful functions that allow .sm files to directly invalidate all cache blocks using a trigger queue rather than rely on each individual cache block to be invalidated via requests from the mandatory queue.
2015-07-20	ruby: initialize replacement policies with their own simobjs	David Hashe
	this is in preparation for other replacement policies that take additional parameters.
2015-07-20	ruby: give access to cache tag/data latencies from SLICC	David Hashe
	This patch exposes the tag and data array latencies to the SLICC state machines so that it can be used to determine the correct enqueue latency for response messages.
2014-10-11	ruby: structures: coorect #ifndef macros in header files	Nilay Vaish

2014-09-01	ruby: remove typedef of Index as int64	Nilay Vaish
	The Index type defined as typedef int64 does not really provide any help since in most places we use primitive types instead of Index. Also, the name Index is very generic that it does not merit being used as a typename.
2014-09-01	ruby: move files from ruby/system to ruby/structures	Nilay Vaish
	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. --HG-- rename : src/mem/ruby/system/MachineID.hh => src/mem/ruby/common/MachineID.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/buffers/MessageBuffer.cc => src/mem/ruby/network/MessageBuffer.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/buffers/MessageBuffer.hh => src/mem/ruby/network/MessageBuffer.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/buffers/MessageBufferNode.cc => src/mem/ruby/network/MessageBufferNode.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/buffers/MessageBufferNode.hh => src/mem/ruby/network/MessageBufferNode.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/AbstractReplacementPolicy.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/AbstractReplacementPolicy.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/BankedArray.cc => src/mem/ruby/structures/BankedArray.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/BankedArray.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/BankedArray.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/Cache.py => src/mem/ruby/structures/Cache.py rename : src/mem/ruby/system/CacheMemory.cc => src/mem/ruby/structures/CacheMemory.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/CacheMemory.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/CacheMemory.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/DirectoryMemory.cc => src/mem/ruby/structures/DirectoryMemory.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/DirectoryMemory.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/DirectoryMemory.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/DirectoryMemory.py => src/mem/ruby/structures/DirectoryMemory.py rename : src/mem/ruby/system/LRUPolicy.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/LRUPolicy.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/MemoryControl.cc => src/mem/ruby/structures/MemoryControl.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/MemoryControl.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/MemoryControl.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/MemoryControl.py => src/mem/ruby/structures/MemoryControl.py rename : src/mem/ruby/system/MemoryNode.cc => src/mem/ruby/structures/MemoryNode.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/MemoryNode.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/MemoryNode.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/MemoryVector.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/MemoryVector.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/PerfectCacheMemory.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/PerfectCacheMemory.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/PersistentTable.cc => src/mem/ruby/structures/PersistentTable.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/PersistentTable.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/PersistentTable.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/PseudoLRUPolicy.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/PseudoLRUPolicy.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/RubyMemoryControl.cc => src/mem/ruby/structures/RubyMemoryControl.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/RubyMemoryControl.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/RubyMemoryControl.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/RubyMemoryControl.py => src/mem/ruby/structures/RubyMemoryControl.py rename : src/mem/ruby/system/SparseMemory.cc => src/mem/ruby/structures/SparseMemory.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/SparseMemory.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/SparseMemory.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/TBETable.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/TBETable.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/TimerTable.cc => src/mem/ruby/structures/TimerTable.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/TimerTable.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/TimerTable.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/WireBuffer.cc => src/mem/ruby/structures/WireBuffer.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/WireBuffer.hh => src/mem/ruby/structures/WireBuffer.hh rename : src/mem/ruby/system/WireBuffer.py => src/mem/ruby/structures/WireBuffer.py rename : src/mem/ruby/recorder/CacheRecorder.cc => src/mem/ruby/system/CacheRecorder.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/recorder/CacheRecorder.hh => src/mem/ruby/system/CacheRecorder.hh
