From fc5bf6713f191047e07f33a788d099b2bbd9faf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabor Dozsa Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 19:53:50 -0500 Subject: dev: add support for multi gem5 runs Multi gem5 is an extension to gem5 to enable parallel simulation of a distributed system (e.g. simulation of a pool of machines connected by Ethernet links). A multi gem5 run consists of seperate gem5 processes running in parallel (potentially on different hosts/slots on a cluster). Each gem5 process executes the simulation of a component of the simulated distributed system (e.g. a multi-core board with an Ethernet NIC). The patch implements the "distributed" Ethernet link device (dev/src/multi_etherlink.[hh.cc]). This device will send/receive (simulated) Ethernet packets to/from peer gem5 processes. The interface to talk to the peer gem5 processes is defined in dev/src/multi_iface.hh and in tcp_iface.hh. There is also a central message server process (util/multi/tcp_server.[hh,cc]) which acts like an Ethernet switch and transfers messages among the gem5 peers. A multi gem5 simulations can be kicked off by the util/multi/gem5-multi.sh wrapper script. Checkpoints are supported by multi-gem5. The checkpoint must be initiated by a single gem5 process. E.g., the gem5 process with rank 0 can take a checkpoint from the bootscript just before it invokes 'mpirun' to launch an MPI test. The message server process will notify all the other peer gem5 processes and make them take a checkpoint, too (after completing a global synchronisation to ensure that there are no inflight messages among gem5). --- src/dev/etherpkt.cc | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/dev/etherpkt.cc') diff --git a/src/dev/etherpkt.cc b/src/dev/etherpkt.cc index 548a1f179..58b53b5e6 100644 --- a/src/dev/etherpkt.cc +++ b/src/dev/etherpkt.cc @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ #include #include "base/misc.hh" +#include "base/inet.hh" #include "dev/etherpkt.hh" #include "sim/serialize.hh" @@ -50,3 +51,20 @@ EthPacketData::unserialize(const string &base, CheckpointIn &cp) if (length) arrayParamIn(cp, base + ".data", data, length); } + +void +EthPacketData::packAddress(uint8_t *src_addr, + uint8_t *dst_addr, + unsigned &nbytes) +{ + Net::EthHdr *hdr = (Net::EthHdr *)data; + assert(hdr->src().size() == hdr->dst().size()); + if (nbytes < hdr->src().size()) + panic("EthPacketData::packAddress() Buffer overflow"); + + memcpy(dst_addr, hdr->dst().bytes(), hdr->dst().size()); + memcpy(src_addr, hdr->src().bytes(), hdr->src().size()); + + nbytes = hdr->src().size(); +} + -- cgit v1.2.3
