2015-09-18ruby: print addresses in hexNilay Vaish
Changeset 4872dbdea907 replaced Address by Addr, but did not make changes to print statements. So the addresses which were being printed in hex earlier along with their line address, were now being printed in decimals. This patch adds a function printAddress(Addr) that can be used to print the address in hex along with the lines address. This function has been put to use in some of the places. At other places, change has been made to print just the address in hex.
2015-09-16ruby: rename System.{hh,cc} to RubySystem.{hh,cc}David Hashe
The eventual aim of this change is to pass RubySystem pointers through to objects generated from the SLICC protocol code. Because some of these objects need to dereference their RubySystem pointers, they need access to the System.hh header file. In src/mem/ruby/SConscript, the MakeInclude function creates single-line header files in the build directory that do nothing except include the corresponding header file from the source tree. However, SLICC also generates a list of header files from its symbol table, and writes it to mem/protocol/Types.hh in the build directory. This code assumes that the header file name is the same as the class name. The end result of this is the many of the generated slicc files try to include RubySystem.hh, when the file they really need is System.hh. The path of least resistence is just to rename System.hh to RubySystem.hh. --HG-- rename : src/mem/ruby/system/System.cc => src/mem/ruby/system/RubySystem.cc rename : src/mem/ruby/system/System.hh => src/mem/ruby/system/RubySystem.hh
2015-08-14ruby: replace Address by AddrNilay 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.
2014-10-16mem: Dynamically determine page bytes in memory componentsAndreas Hansson
This patch takes a step towards an ISA-agnostic memory system by enabling the components to establish the page size after instantiation. The swap operation in the memory is now also allowing any granularity to avoid depending on the IntReg of the ISA.
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.

This patch further removes calls to g_system_ptr->getTime() where ever other clocked objects are available for providing current time.
2012-12-11ruby: add a prefetcherNilay Vaish
This patch adds a prefetcher for the ruby memory system. The prefetcher is based on a prefetcher implemented by others (well, I don't know who wrote the original). The prefetcher does stride-based prefetching, both unit and non-unit. It obseves the misses in the cache and trains on these. After the training period is over, the prefetcher starts issuing prefetch requests to the controller.
