Hi Bhaskar, If you are concerned with modeling interconnection networks you should use Garnet, not the SimpleNetwork. Note: Both of these are part of Ruby, so you have to use the Ruby caches, not the classic caches. Additionally, to create at tiled architecture in Ruby will involve writing your own topology configuration file (in configs/topologies).
If you don't care about what coherence protocol is executing and you aren't trying to model a high-fidelity interconnection network, you could probably use the classic caches to model a tiled system. You may have to create a new router object that plays with the classic caches, though. It would look similar to the coherent crossbar, but implement routing instead of a crossbar ;).
