gem5 模拟exclusive cache

1、重编编译gem.opt

           命令：scons build/X86/gem5.opt PROTOCOL=MOESI_hammer RUBY=True

                      其中阴影部分可以进行下列替换

The following cache coherence protocols are supported:

1. ) MI_example: example protocol, 1-level cache.
2. )MESI_CMP_directory: single chip, 2-level caches, strictly-inclusive hierarchy.
3. )MOESI_CMP_directory: multiple chips, 2-level caches, non-inclusive (neither strictly inclusive nor exclusive) hierarchy.
4. )MOESI_CMP_token: 2-level caches. TODO.
5. )MOESI_hammer: single chip, 2-level private caches, strictly-exclusive hierarchy.
6. )Network_test: dummy protocol to operate the network tester, 1-level cache.

2、运行 只是在原来运行的命令上加上 --ruby

./build/X86/gem5.opt -d ./m5out/998/4kB/test$i/ configs/example/cmp.py.origin --ruby --caches --l1d_size=4kB --l1i_size=4kB --l2cache --l2_size=2MB -b specrand_i

 

 

MOESI_hammer这种类型是L2是独享的cache。
./build/X86/gem5.opt -d ./m5out/998/4kB/test$i/ configs/example/cmp.py.origin./build/X86/gem5.opt -d ./m5out/998/4kB/test$i/ configs/example/cmp.py.origin./build/X86/gem5.opt -d ./m5out/998/4kB/test$i/ configs/example/cmp.py.origin

 

注意：模拟普通的cache模式，和exclusive cache，要修改配置文件，下面是修改好的，可以模拟exclusive cache的配置文件

文件1：cmp.py.origin

    print "Error: script doesn't take any positional arguments"
    sys.exit(1)
