I see that L2_REQUEST_LATENCY and L2_RESPONSE_LATENCY are used.

When I change the size of each bank that's placed locally with each core, I would like to change the latency of accessing each bank.

Which parameter should I change?

Also, I see a directory cache latency in the ruby stats file. It defaults to 80. Is the directory assumed to be in memory?

I've looked at the file inside the protocol/doc directory, but I am still not sure on the definition of L2_REQUEST_LATENCY and L2_RESPONSE_LATENCY.

Various protocol controllers use different parameters.  See what latency
parameters are used in the MOESI_CMP_directory-L2cache.sm file.

Latency is also determined by the interconnect.

How are cache latencies defined when using both ruby and opal?

The values inside the opal config file seems to be ignored, and there are
several latency values when I look inside ruby's stats:

CACHE_RESPONSE_LATENCY: 12
L2_RESPONSE_LATENCY: 6
L1_RESPONSE_LATENCY: 3
L1_REQUEST_LATENCY: 2
L2_REQUEST_LATENCY: 4
L2_RECYCLE_LATENCY: 5

I am using the MOESI_CMP protocol with PT2PT links, and I wondering how I
can modify the latencies when accessing local L1 and L2 caches?

I've looked through the archive, but I am still not clear how to change
the latencies.
