Re: [Gems-users] TILED network

[Mike Marty <mikem@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The naming is confusing.  "Directory" in GEMS generally means the 
memory/directory controller.  Yes, the directory state is stored in L2 
tags.  I called the "Directory" MESI_SCMP_tiledL2bank_directory-mem.sm , 
instead of -dir.sm, to try and indicate that this doesn't really store 
directory state at memory.
