2015-09-16	ruby: 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

	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.

	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.
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
2013-01-14	Ruby: remove reference to g_system_ptr from class Message	Nilay Vaish
	This patch was initiated so as to remove reference to g_system_ptr, the pointer to Ruby System that is used for getting the current time. That simple change actual requires changing a lot many things in slicc and garnet. All these changes are related to how time is handled. In most of the places, g_system_ptr has been replaced by another clock object. The changes have been done under the assumption that all the components in the memory system are on the same clock frequency, but the actual clocks might be distributed.
2012-12-11	ruby: add a prefetcher	Nilay 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.
