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.
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.
