Hi sir.. I am having some trouble with the m5. I have installed and run the simulation,I didn't get some of the things. There are sections for m5. 1)FULL simulation 2)system call simulation.
using m5elements is system call simulation. My point is how does it implement the configuration we give <default.py>? Full simulation has lots of things that implement cache .<i.e. fa_lru.hh, lru.hh, and other to manipulates sets and cache architecture> But i have found that m5elements not using the files outside its folder.I checked that by making changes to the files and recompile it by make. So how m5elements handle things? AND what are these clusters exactly? It gives error if i make NUM_CLUSTERS=1 ,but they share same caches. .............................................................................. My requirement is to implement way-sharing cache architecture in which i should form friend sets and dynamic variation of associativity. i.e.(m,k)-way m-blocks are used by 2 sets say s,t. k are shared between them. so .. associativity of any one varies between <(m-k)/2 (m+k)/2> ............................................................................................................ correct me if i am wrong!!!
