The short answer is yes, M5 does do cache to cache transfers for a CMP. 

 

By varying the latency, what do you mean? Varying the latency during
simulation, or between simulations? 

 

 

 

I am new to m5. Could you please tell me what m5 does in case of LOAD for
shared cache line. Basically I need a CMP system with private L2 caches, and
in case
of LOAD, the request should be satisfied by peer L2 caches (of course if it
is available) instead of going to memory. I want to vary the latency for
cache to cache transfer.
Does the current coherence in m5 work this way?? Or, how hard will it be to
change?

thanks
