Lu,
I have a question about L2 wire delay in RUBY. If I have 128 L2 banks
and 4 cores in one chip, what's the L2 banks distribution by default?
The delay of farther banks are bigger than those of nearby banks. Does
RUBY show this?
You will have to create a network file that specifies how your cache banks are
connected and the latencies of different links. Please see
ruby/network/simple/Network_Files/ for examples.
In addition, I found there are 3 Latencies in rubyconfig.defaults:
L2_RESPONSE_LATENCY, L2_RECYCLE_LATENCY and L2_REQUEST_LATENCY. Could
somebody please tell me the differences?
The usage of these parameters depends on the protocol. For the protocol that you
are using, you can look for where these different parameters are used. But
typically the names are self explanatory (e.g., L2_RESPONSE_LATENCY is added to
a response from the L2 cache, ...etc.).
One more suggestion: it would be better if there is a search function in
gems-users archives.
That would be nice, but unfortunately our mailing list server doesn't support
that feature yet! Thanks for the suggestion though.
