From 322b9ca2c5b0465db7086abdc6eadca061932575 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lisa Hsu Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 17:17:57 -0700 Subject: Ruby: Add new object called WireBuffer to mimic a Wire. This is a substitute for MessageBuffers between controllers where you don't want messages to actually go through the Network, because requests/responses can always get reordered wrt to one another (even if you turn off Randomization and turn on Ordered) because you are, after all, going through a network with contention. For systems where you model multiple controllers that are very tightly coupled and do not actually go through a network, it is a pain to have to write a coherence protocol to account for mixed up request/response orderings despite the fact that it's completely unrealistic. This is *not* meant as a substitute for real MessageBuffers when messages do in fact go over a network. --- src/mem/slicc/symbols/StateMachine.py | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'src/mem/slicc') diff --git a/src/mem/slicc/symbols/StateMachine.py b/src/mem/slicc/symbols/StateMachine.py index 71b786616..90b7bfbd8 100644 --- a/src/mem/slicc/symbols/StateMachine.py +++ b/src/mem/slicc/symbols/StateMachine.py @@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ python_class_map = {"int": "Int", "std::string": "String", "bool": "Bool", "CacheMemory": "RubyCache", + "WireBuffer": "RubyWireBuffer", "Sequencer": "RubySequencer", "DirectoryMemory": "RubyDirectoryMemory", "MemoryControl": "RubyMemoryControl", -- cgit v1.2.3
