Dear All, I wanted to inform you about our simulation platform called SMCSim. SMCSim models a *Smart Memory Cube* device (an extension to the standard Hybrid Memory Cube, hosting a processor for near-memory-computation on its LoB die), attached to a complete host system-on-chip. It is designed based on the General Memory System model of gem5 in full-system simulation mode.
The goal in the design of this platform has been to reuse the existing components in gem5 (e.g. DMA Engines, Interconnects, DRAM Controllers) as much as possible, and to extend them where necessary. Here you can access the SMCSim repository: https://iis-git.ee.ethz.ch/erfan.azarkhish/SMCSim This package includes: * The Smart Memory Cube (SMC) connected to a full-system ARM host, modeled based on a previous stable version of gem5. * An ARM based Processor-in-Memory (PIM) device connected to the main LoB interconnect of SMC. * The required software stack (APIs, drivers) and user-level applications to offload tasks to PIM for execution. For more information, you can refer to the documentations provided inside the repository, or take a look at our recent publication: * Azarkhish, Erfan, et al. "Design and Evaluation of a Processing-in-Memory Architecture for the Smart Memory Cube." International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems. Springer International Publishing, 2016. http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-319-30695-7_2 You can freely use/modify this simulation platform as long as you follow gem5's copyright rules, and please don't forget to cite our paper. Thank you, Best Regards, -- Erfan Azarkhish Micrel Lab - Viale Carlo Pepoli 3/2 - 40123, Bologna DEI - University of Bologna, Italy https://www.linkedin.com/in/erfanazarkhish
