[Gems-users] The size of L2 Cache

[May Zhao <zhao0043@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

       I am using MOSI_SMP_bcast. I need to change the size of L2 cache, 
so I set the value of L2_CACHE_NUM_SETS_BITS to 13 in file 
"rubyconfig.defaults".
       However, I found the value has been changed to 10 in the stats file 
(using command "ruby0.dump-stats ruby.stats"). Only L2_CACHE_NUM_SETS_BITS 
in "ruby.stats" is different with that in "rubyconfig.defaults". Others, 
like L1_CACHE_NUM_SETS_BITS, are same.
    Who can tell me what is the real configuration in the simulation? If I 
set L2_CACHE_NUM_SETS_BITS=13, then the L2 cache should be 2M bytes. Is it 
right?
    Thanks
