Hello everyone,
I am trying to simulate a system with 4 cpus and
one shared L1 cache (cache shared among cpus).
I tried to modify MESI_CMP_directory.py in
/gem5/configs/ruby by changing this code:
(I actually removed the "for" command and replaced i with 0 -
the idea was to create only one L1 cache)
###################################################################
for i in xrange(options.num_cpus):
#
# First create the Ruby objects associated with this cpu
#
l1i_cache = L1Cache(size = options.l1i_size,
assoc = options.l1i_assoc,
start_index_bit = block_size_bits,
is_icache = True)
l1d_cache = L1Cache(size = options.l1d_size,
assoc = options.l1d_assoc,
start_index_bit = block_size_bits,
is_icache = False)
l1_cntrl = L1Cache_Controller(version = i,
cntrl_id = cntrl_count,
L1IcacheMemory = l1i_cache,
L1DcacheMemory = l1d_cache,
l2_select_num_bits = l2_bits,
send_evictions = (
options.cpu_type ==
"detailed"),
ruby_system = ruby_system)
cpu_seq = RubySequencer(version = i,
icache = l1i_cache,
dcache = l1d_cache,
ruby_system = ruby_system)
l1_cntrl.sequencer = cpu_seq
if piobus != None:
cpu_seq.pio_port = piobus.slave
exec("system.l1_cntrl%d = l1_cntrl" % i)
#
# Add controllers and sequencers to the appropriate lists
#
cpu_sequencers.append(cpu_seq)
l1_cntrl_nodes.append(l1_cntrl)
cntrl_count += 1

to this:
###################################################################
#for i in xrange(options.num_cpus):
#
# First create the Ruby objects associated with this cpu
#
l1i_cache = L1Cache(size = options.l1i_size,
assoc = options.l1i_assoc,
start_index_bit = block_size_bits,
is_icache = True)
l1d_cache = L1Cache(size = options.l1d_size,
assoc = options.l1d_assoc,
start_index_bit = block_size_bits,
is_icache = False)
l1_cntrl = L1Cache_Controller(version = 0,
cntrl_id = cntrl_count,
L1IcacheMemory = l1i_cache,
L1DcacheMemory = l1d_cache,
l2_select_num_bits = l2_bits,
send_evictions = (
options.cpu_type == "detailed"),
ruby_system = ruby_system)
cpu_seq = RubySequencer(version = 0,
icache = l1i_cache,
dcache = l1d_cache,
ruby_system = ruby_system)
l1_cntrl.sequencer = cpu_seq
if piobus != None:
cpu_seq.pio_port = piobus.slave
exec("system.l1_cntrl%d = l1_cntrl" % i)
#
# Add controllers and sequencers to the appropriate lists
#
cpu_sequencers.append(cpu_seq)
l1_cntrl_nodes.append(l1_cntrl)
cntrl_count += 1
and I have deleted the code that creates the L2 caches.
The problem is that I get errors when I try to run simulations.
It would be thankful if someone could help me to understand
what is going wrong and how I could get L1 shared cache working.
Thanks in advance,
Pavlos
