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?
I think that these parameters only deal with the delay inside the L2
controller itself. When an event occurs that causes a request message
to be sent out, there is a delay of L2_REQUEST_LATENCY between the event
and when the request message is enqueued. Likewise for a response
message and L2_RESPONSE_LATENCY.
My guess is that all of your banks are actually the same, and that the
latency difference will be the amount of time that it takes to reach a
bank from a particular core. If that's the case, then that latency
should be reflected in the interconnection network, not in the L2 module
itself.
Also, I see a directory cache latency in the ruby stats file. It defaults
to 80. Is the directory assumed to be in memory?
Yes.
