[Gems-users] Private and shared L2 cache protocols?

[mehmetderin.harmanci@xxxxxxx]

  Hello,

    Can in  MSI_MOSI_CMP_directory protocol a copy of a block be found in
  two different L2 banks (I guess the answer should be no, since the protocol
  is said to be implementing an L2 shared cache)?  Can the same happen in
  MOESI_SMP_directory? (I'm trying to understand how those protocols work :) )

  Actually, I'm mosty interested in implementing a private and a shared  L2
  protocol and compare their results. For the shared L2 protocol I used a
  single memory but it seems I can not have a single memory bank for SMP
  protocols. Am I right? If not how can I write a network file such that
  there is a single memory bank for an SMP protocol? If yes, is there a way
  to use one of the existing protocols to have a private L2 cached CMP
  protocol with a single memory bank?


    Best Regards,
