[Gems-users] how to generate ruby tester clock

["wshaogang" <wshaogang@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all:

         I know that if ruby runs as a Simics module, then by using SIM_time_post_cycle function, ruby repeatedly triggers events in global event queue every ruby clock. This is the main mechanism that event scheduled to run in future will be eventually triggered.

         But I am not very clear that if the ruby runs under the tester which is relatively independent of SIMICS, how to generate the ruby’s driving clock? I have studied the tester code, but I can not found such code.  So can anybody explain by what means that events in global queue be triggered?  

         Thanks very much.

 

 

Best regards
