Hello, I was wondering what the use / purpose of the 'forwardSnoops' variable in the handleSnoop Function located in the /src/mem/cache/cache_impl.hh file. I see that this variable is set to 'true' in the BaseCache.py file (line:49) in order to enable forwarding from the memory side to the cpu side of the cache, but I don't quite understand why that would need to be done? Also, since it is by default set to true, under which circumstances would it be useful to set it to false?
Thanks. Malek _______________________________________________ m5-users mailing list [email protected] http://m5sim.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/m5-users
