Hi Malek,
I think the term blocking is confusing because it's really an overloaded
term. There's a distinction is between blocking CPUs and blocking memory
systems, and they are distinct.
As you say below, a TimingCPU is a blocking CPU and only has one outstanding
instruction going at a time.
Hi,
1) I was wondering if the MESI_CMP protocol is currently implemented
as a 'blocking' protocol, similar to how the MOESI_CMP version is.
I see that on this link on the GEMS page that it indicates that the
MOESI_CMP one is blocking, but doesn't indicate anything about the
MESI_CMP version.
