[Gems-users] SimicsDriver

["Dave Z." <zhu_dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

As I understand Simics delivers data/instruction
fetches to Ruby and these data/instruction fetches are
recorded by SimicsDriver, right? Could you please
clarify the following?

- Do these requests recorded by SimicsDriver only come
from Simics? Or are there some Ruby requests which
might get recorded by SimicsDriver as well? 

- When sending data from one processor to another
(e_sendData), does it involve SimicsDriver?

- When Ruby models the data allocation and data
movement behaviors such as cache line allocation,
L1_to_L2, L2_replacement, etc., are these requests
sent back to Simics? Or recorded by SimicsDriver?

Thank you. 

Dave
