From 362160c8aeeb5b655158061ad57404124b4618f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Hansson Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 05:56:06 -0500 Subject: mem: Add deferred packet class to prefetcher This patch removes the time field from the packet as it was only used by the preftecher. Similar to the packet queue, the prefetcher now wraps the packet in a deferred packet, which also has a tick representing the absolute time when the packet should be sent. --- src/mem/cache/prefetch/base.cc | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- src/mem/cache/prefetch/base.hh | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++---- src/mem/packet.hh | 9 +++----- 3 files changed, 58 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) (limited to 'src') diff --git a/src/mem/cache/prefetch/base.cc b/src/mem/cache/prefetch/base.cc index ddf1c1b31..6463f78f8 100644 --- a/src/mem/cache/prefetch/base.cc +++ b/src/mem/cache/prefetch/base.cc @@ -1,4 +1,16 @@ /* + * Copyright (c) 2013 ARM Limited + * All rights reserved. + * + * The license below extends only to copyright in the software and shall + * not be construed as granting a license to any other intellectual + * property including but not limited to intellectual property relating + * to a hardware implementation of the functionality of the software + * licensed hereunder.
