Re: [Gems-users] Private L2 Configuration

[Niket Agarwal <niketa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think you need to change the standard_SMP-protocol.sm to  
standard_CMP-protocol.sm in the .slicc file.
The SMP protocol simulates a multi-chip protocol. You can hack it to  
be a single CMP private L2 protocol by
still simulating the protocol with multiple chips, but lowering the  
network latencies between the chips.
You might also want to look at adding directory caches at the  
directory node. Otherwise, all directory access incur the expensive  
memory latency.
Cheers,
Niket
