[UVM][AXI][VIP]Response queue overflow

Response queue overflow

 

一、VIP Sequence Response queue overflow

       我们經常會遇到VIP的sequence报response queue overflow的情況，怎么去规避这个问题呢？應為response queue的depth默認為8，那麼如何去修改default設置呢？本文提供2种方法。

 1.1 增大depth，如下图，將Response Queue的Depth設置為512

virtual task body();
  super.body();

  set_response_queue_depth(512);

endtask

 1.2 If you really don’t care, then you can turn off the error as mentioned below.

virtual task body();
  super.body();

  set_response_queue_error_report_disabled(1);

endtask

二、UVM源码解读

 2.1 set_response_queue_error_report_disabled

public void set_response_queue_error_report_disabled( bit value ) ;
Function: set_response_queue_error_report_disabled 
          By default, if the response_queue overflows, an error is reported. 
          The response_queue will overflow if more responses are sent to 
          this sequence from the driver than get_response calls are made. 
          Setting the value to 0 disables these errors, while setting it 
          to 1 enables them.

  

 2.2 set_response_queue_depth( int value );

        If you do care, and if the error message is pointed to a real problem with your environment, then you may need to fix it - either by increasing the queue depth or by updating sequences to actually retrieve the response.

public void set_response_queue_depth( int value ) 
Function:   set_response_queue_depth 
               The default maximum depth of the response queue is 8. 
               This method is used to examine or change the maximum depth 
               of the response queue. Setting the response_queue_depth 
               to -1 indicates an arbitrarily deep response queue. No checking is done.
