Subject: [Gems-users] simulating perfect L2 for CMP
I am currently simulating with the MOESI_CMP_directory protocol, and would like to run the simulations with a perfect L2.

What is the best way to do this?
1) Running opal without ruby and specifing L2_IDEAL?
2) Run both opal and ruby, but specify L2 is always a hit locally?

Is the L1 always 1 cycle when running opal w/o ruby? I don't see a parameter for setting the L1 latency.

If I run without ruby, how do I compare the performance? Since there won't be a ruby_cycle metric.

thx,
Tom
