Hi all,
I am learning SIMICS/GEMS/GARNET simulation environment and I have two questions:
1. Is there any possibility to dynamically change links latencies between cores in CMP system during runtime? May this be done for the file specified topology?
2. And another question: is it possible to set different link width for each link (maybe using g_FLIT_SIZE parameter)? Will this influence package delivery latency and average network latency?
I use SIMICS 3.0.31, GEMS 2.1.1. Target machine: abisko with Solaris 10. GEMS parameters are as follows:
Protocol: MOESI_CMP_directory
g_NUM_PROCESSORS 16
g_MEMORY_SIZE_BYTES 4294967296
g_PROCS_PER_CHIP 16
g_NETWORK_TOPOLOGY FILE_SPECIFIED
g_GARNET_NETWORK true
g_DETAIL_NETWORK true
g_FLIT_SIZE 16
Kind regards,
Arseniy.
