Re: [Gems-users] Significance of the parameter NUMBER_OF_VIRTUAL_NETWORKS

[Alaa Alameldeen <alaa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Briefly, this parameter should be at least as big as the number of 
virtual networks you use in your protocol to communicate between 
different system components. These networks are defined near the top of 
your component SLICC files. For example, an L2 cache might have the 
following definition:
  MessageBuffer L1RequestToL2Cache, network="From", 
virtual_network="0", ordered="true";  // a local L1 -> this L2 bank
Which specifies that you have a virtual network (#0) from a Local L1 
cache to an L2 cache bank. Your NUMBER_OF_VIRTUAL_NETWORKS parameter 
should be at least the number of the distinct virtual network numbers 
you have (you should count the "From" and "To" networks with the same 
number as one network).
