[Gems-users] Ruby Module

Hi,

My understanding of Ruby is that it's only simulates
on the timing and SIMICS takes care of the
functonality. IF that's right, then I also understand
that SIMICS maintains only one copy of the memory
image. 

So have I understood this the right way. Does Ruby
emulate the functionality of caches at all ? (ie. does
it actually ever maintain data that seem to exsist in
caches).

If not how can I emulate caches and perform timing, .
I want to simulate Hardware Transactional Memory for
the class project. So basically I need to maintain
speculative reads/writes in caches without reflecting
back to memory image until commit point.

(Sorry for the last round of whole bunch of emails). I
am basically getting started on implementation and 
wanted to get concepts straightened out.
Thanks,
