Hi Korey,

I was wondering if there is any development on the front of ARM
in-order models. I saw your e-mail from early June (below), are there
any updates since then?

Also, I tried the OOO -> In Order conversion trick by scaling down
width (fetch, decode, commit, etc) and/or buffers, but my
configuration breaks from that. Could you please send me a working
configuration of an OOO core that performs similar to an In Order
core?

Thanks,

Tayyar

Subject: Re: [gem5-users] ARM InOrder implement

In my opinion,

there are 3 ways to go (in order of speed of functionality):

1. configure o3 ARM to be inorder ARM

===> If you make all the buffer sizes 1, you have a single-issue
in-order machine

2. pick up the patches on reviewboard, use gem5-dev for questions as
you bring them up

===> I'd help answer questions there, but that's going to mean you
have to learn some internals of the InOrder model

3. Wait a few months for the ARM InOrder patch from myself or others.

===> There is some legal clearing I have to do (I'm not a full-time
student anymore!). However,  it's my goal to post relevant patches
into the tree. I anticipate that done at least by the next gem5
workshop but please don't "quote" me on that!
