Hi,

I am working on a store buffer to couple with Ruby in order to simulate TSO.
As far as I know, the TSOTool described in "*TSOtool**: A Program for
Verifying Memory Systems Using the Memory Consistency Model"  *has not been
open sourced. There is a different tso checker which comes as part of
OpenSparc architecture kit, but from looking at it, it is very tightly
integrated into their memory model. However, I was told by Nathan Binkert
that Rick Strong has been working on a consistency checker. I am very
interested in that as I think it would be very important to actually verify
TSO consistency. In fact, I think the tso checker is the bigger chunk of
work involved in integrating a store buffer into the simulator.

I have a couple of questions to Rick and anyone else who might be working on
this consistency checker. Does it actually handle TSO checking and when it
would be available. I ask because I want to gauge the need to port OpenSparc
TsoChecker.


Thank you.


Polina
