Hi, I am interested in using the cache compression schemes that gem5 has (mainly BDI). I was going through the commits and I saw one named "Remove writebacks packet list", that was later reverted because it introduced a bug in atomic mode. Using a compression scheme will probably result in multiple evictions in the case of a writeback. Does this mean that I shouldn't use atomic mode along with compressed_tags (i.e. compression) as the reverted commit suggests? Is it fine if compression is used in timing mode?
Thank you, Victor
