Thanks Hongxia. But the two systems I compared used the same latency numbers and same network topology. I guess I want to understand first what decides the msg delay cycles in addition to these latency parameters. Any idea about that?

Hi Lei,
 
Have you ever changed latency parameters in ruby.defaults? The protocol MSI_MOSI_CMP_directory used the following parameters related latency:
L1_RESPONSE_LATENCY, L2_RESPONSE_LATENCY, L!_REQUEST_LATENCY, L2_REQUEST_LATENCY, MEMORY_RESPONSE_LATENCY_MINUS_2, NETWORK_LINK_LATENCY.
Moreover, the network topology you used also influenced the network latency.
 
Hope it can be help.

SUN Hongxia

Dear list,
 
I noticed that after I made some change to the MSI_MOSI_CMP_directory protocol, the network delay cycles were significantly increased.
 
Below I'm pasting the virtual network 1 delay cycles of unmodified protocol and modified protocol. (Virtual network 1 is the network that connects the local l2s to the directory).
 
unmodified:
virtual_network_1_delay_cycles: [binsize: 1 max: 15 count: 330763 average: 1.18152 | standard deviation: 2.62497 | 274530 2 18 249 191 181 64 172 54618 276 116 23 38 9 29 8 41 ]
modified:
virtual_network_1_delay_cycles: [binsize: 4 max: 194 count: 289410 average: 9.86392 | standard deviation: 27.4408 | 216910
45290 453 237 12 49 34 41 40 447 44 54 48 43 70 29 110 87 76 119 85 34 11754 246 568 11396 230 894 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 ]
Could anyone please tell me what is the dominant factor of message delay cycle?  For example, I changed the DIRECTORY_TRANSITION_PER_RUBY_CYCLE parameter from 32 to 256 in rubyconfig.defaults . Because my modifications introduced more message sent to the directory and I thought the number of requests that can be handled by the directory  in one cycle matters. However, this doesn't help at all. I would really appreciate any hint from you. Thanks in advance!
 
Lei
