[Gems-users] TLB simulation

[arrvindh shriraman <arrvindh_shriraman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is it possible to vary the TLB size ( or attach own functional TLB module) in Opal/Ruby for simulation purposes. I am quite confused whether its possible to attach user TLB timing module. 
 
 My understanding is that Simics emulates its own Spitfire-MMU class for the SPARC and in a Solaris-Sparc system any change in TLB require us to modify OS and Arch.
 
 eg: Lets say we are trying to emulate a larger TLB to reduce no of TLB misses, since SIMICS is emulating its own spitfire TLB, even if some entry is a hit in our timing system it could be a miss in SIMICSs MMU at this point wont Opal deviate from Simics. What does Opal do on d-TLB miss exception ? I took at look at d-tlb.C and pseq.C
