Hi Chenfeng,

Sorry for the late response. If you look into src/mem/Xbar.py the width of
SystemXbar is set to be 16-bytes. This means if you are running the network
at 1GHz, even though your HBM can support 128 GBps (with 8 channels), the
bandwidth from crossbar is 16*1 GHz = 16GBps. There might be multiple ways
to solve this issue. One way is to just increase the SystemXbar width from
16-bytes to 128 bytes. Then you should be able to achieve 128 GBps.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Nitish
