A multi gem5 run consists of seperate gem5 * processes running in parallel. Each gem5 process executes * the simulation of a component of the simulated distributed system. * (An example component can be a multi-core board with an Ethernet NIC.) * The MultiIface class below provides services to transfer data and * control messages among the gem5 processes. The main such services are * as follows. * * 1. Send a data packet coming from a simulated Ethernet link. The packet * will be transferred to (all) the target(s) gem5 processes. The send * operation is always performed by the simulation thread, i.e. the gem5 * thread that is processing the event queue associated with the simulated * Ethernet link. * * 2. Spawn a receiver thread to process messages coming in from the * from other gem5 processes. Each simulated Ethernet link has its own * associated receiver thread. The receiver thread saves the incoming packet * and schedule an appropriate receive event in the event queue. * * 3. Schedule a global barrier event periodically to keep the gem5 * processes in sync. * Periodic barrier event to keep peer gem5 processes in sync. The basic idea * is that no gem5 process can go ahead further than the simulated link * transmission delay to ensure that a corresponding receive event can always * be scheduled for any message coming in from a peer gem5 process. * * * * This interface is an abstract class (sendRaw() and recvRaw() * methods are pure virtual). It can work with various low level * send/receive service implementations (e.g. TCP/IP, MPI,...). A TCP * stream socket version is implemented in dev/src/tcp_iface.[hh,cc]. */ #ifndef __DEV_MULTI_IFACE_HH__ #define __DEV_MULTI_IFACE_HH__ #include #include #include #include #include #include "dev/etherpkt.hh" #include "dev/multi_packet.hh" #include "sim/core.hh" #include "sim/drain.hh" #include "sim/global_event.hh" class EventManager; /** * The interface class to talk to peer gem5 processes. */ class MultiIface : public Drainable { public: /*! * The possible reasons a multi sync among gem5 peers is needed for. */ enum class SyncTrigger { periodic, /*!< Regular periodic sync.
