2013-11-25sim: simulate with multiple threads and event queuesSteve Reinhardt ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E%2C%20Ali%20Saidi%20%3CAli.Saidi%40ARM.com%3E)
This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of which operates on an event queue. Each sim object specifies which eventq is would like to be on. A custom barrier implementation is being added using which eventqs synchronize. The patch was tested in two different configurations: 1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without any communication taking place with any other level. 2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server system which are connected by an ethernet link. We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum are working. Committed by: Nilay Vaish
2012-11-16sim: have a curTick per eventqNilay Vaish
This patch adds a _curTick variable to an eventq. This variable is updated whenever an event is serviced in function serviceOne(), or all events upto a particular time are processed in function serviceEvents(). This change helps when there are eventqs that do not make use of curTick for scheduling events.
2012-01-31clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0Koan-Sin Tan
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions, comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in kernel_stats.hh). clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which causes confusion between the container std::set and the function Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in the appropriate places.

2011-01-07Replace curTick global variable with accessor functions.Steve Reinhardt
This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions (which still access a global variable) with ones that access per-thread curTick values.
2011-01-03Make commenting on close namespace brackets consistent.Steve Reinhardt
Ran all the source files through 'perl -pi' with this script: s|\s*(};?\s*)?/\*\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*\*/(\s*})?|} // namespace $3|; s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*|} // namespace $2\n|; s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(\S+)\s*namespace\s*|} // namespace $1\n|; Also did a little manual editing on some of the arch/*/isa_traits.hh files and src/SConscript.

--HG-- rename : src/sim/host.hh => src/base/types.hh
2008-08-04Get rid of outputStream... wasn't really being usedSteve Reinhardt
(except for warn()) and new -r/-e options make it not worth fixing.
2007-07-23Major changes to how SimObjects are created and initialized. Almost allNathan Binkert
creation and initialization now happens in python. Parameter objects are generated and initialized by python. The .ini file is now solely for debugging purposes and is not used in construction of the objects in any way. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 7e722873e417cb3d696f2e34c35ff488b7bff4ed
2007-03-06Move all of the parameters of the Root SimObject so they areNathan Binkert
directly configured by python. Move stuff from root.(cc|hh) to core.(cc|hh) since it really belogs there now. In the process, simplify how ticks are used in the python code. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : cf82ee1ea20f9343924f30bacc2a38d4edee8df3
2007-03-02Factor code out of main.cc and main.i into a bunch of filesNathan Binkert
so things are organized in a more sensible manner. Take apart finalInit and expose the individual functions which are now called from python. Make checkpointing a bit easier to use. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : f470ddabbb47103e7b4734ef753c40089f2dcd9d
