Hello all,
I'm attempting to modify the MESI_CMP_directory cache coherence
protocol. I was wondering if there is an easy way to write some simple
memory operations and and view the resulting way the state machine and
network respond, other than inspecting the output of
--debug-flags=RubySlicc (which seems like huge overkill).
I found this page
(http://research.cs.wisc.edu/gems/doc/gems-wiki/moin.cgi/How_do_I_understand_a_Protocol)
from the GEMS website which seems extremely useful but I haven't been
able to find an equivalent in gem5.
Can anyone provide me with some tips on good ways to test cache
coherence protocols?
You might want to read this page -- http://gem5.org/Ruby_Random_Tester.
You might find the output obtained using debug flag ProtocolTrace useful.
