Re: [Gems-users] L2 cache banks

[Mike Marty <mikem@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chip.C in the generated code directory instantiates multiple
L2CacheController objects.  Each instantiates a CacheMemory.

the map_L1CacheMachId_to_L2Cache() function in
RubySlicc_ComponentMapping.{sm,h} directs a request to the right bank.
