Hi all,
We have a mesh interconnection model and I'm thinking about refine it and
integrate it into M5. But I got several questions:
1. it seems the bus is tightly coupled with address mapping (findPort(addr)).
I don't understand why and how to implement the same functionality into the
mesh. I'm planning to just identify ports with their IDs (plus a reserved ID
for broadcasting). Is this okay?
2. I'm not sure what the snoop ports are for. In the splash2 SE script, the bus
doesn't seem to have snoop ports.
3. I assume the functionality of the bus/interconnection is to forward packets
from src to dst while modeling some sort of contention. Is there any other
roles this module plays? Does the bus in M5 carry any responsibilities in
coherence?
Thanks!
Jiayuan
