Re: [Gems-users] converting smp protocol to cmp protocol

[Mike Marty <mikem@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lower the network latencies and you get a CMP

The *SMP* protocols do require the number of DirectoryController == 
number of processors.  But we don't realistically model DRAM anyways, so 
just connect them all to one switch and get a CMP with one memory controller
