Right now my controller object just intended to work as wrapper for icache
( when I could ensure that I could take request from cpu and send it to
icache and vice versa, I'll start working on my main target).
my simple script:
> ## import librarie
######### Parameters ##########

> #Memory
> L1Cache = "32KiB" # same size data and instruction cache
> Asso_L1 = 4 # associativity
> Asso_L2 = 8

> L3Cache = "4096KiB" #16 times of L2
> DRAM_size = "2GiB"
> ## config for interconnect netowrk
> number_of_cpu = 2
> ClkFreq = "3GHz"

In PrivateL1SharedL2CacheHierarchy(), I changed L1ICache with
L1PrivateCtrl() which takes same argument as l1icache
self.l1icaches = [
> L1PrivateCtrl(
> icache_size=self._l1i_size,

My L1PrivateCtrl is a library for my L1PrivateController simobject which
has CacheParams icache_param as a local variable. For now, it just takes
parameters for cache, assigns them in icache_param manually and
instantiates cache objects with icache_param argument. Right now, I'm just
trying to implement my controller object to work as an intermediary between
cpu and icache.
