Re: [Gems-users] L2_CACHE_NUM_SET_BITS

["Mike Marty" <mike.marty@xxxxxxxxx>]

it divides the specified L2 cache capacity by the number of banks.

if you want to specify it the other way, then just remove that line of code

Hi,


I'm trying to configure a CMP system with L2_CACHE_ASSOC: 16 and L2_CACHE_NUM_SET_BITS:10. This should give me 1MB L2 caches, but due to the following operation, L2_CACHE_NUM_SET_BITS becomes 9 and hence the L2 cache size becomes 512KB.


L2_CACHE_NUM_SETS_BITS = L2_CACHE_NUM_SETS_BITS - log_int(g_NUM_L2_BANKS_PER_CHIP);


What is the reason of doing this operation? How can I set my L2 cache size to 1MB?


Thank you,


Dave
