Dear all,
I appreciate all your support to help me with M5. I really love it. I'm
a graduate student working with Prof. Kevin Skadron at University of Virginia.
And now,
I'd like to submit patches to M5 that enables it to simulate CMP architecture.
I have a mesh2D model that works well with an MSI directory coherence protocol.
Both the interconnection and directory coherence models are extendable.
Another patch is to support multithreading for simple CPUs. The cpu can
switch to another HW thread context if it has a data access.
However, atomic modes are not well tested. And I haven't considered
checkpoints.
The mercurial patches are based on changeset 5291:456a50cf2a67, a version after
2.0beta4 but before 2.0beta5.
As an "external developer", how do you think I should submit the patches? An
do you think it would be necessary to update the patches so they are based on a
more recent changeset?
If so, which changeset?
Just hope it might be useful.
Thanks!
Jiayuan Meng
