But I am still concerning the protocol as you mentioned. The protocol
I am using now is MOESI_CMP_directory, and the 16p are placed on 16
chips (1 p on 1 chip). Actually I want to observe the network behavior
of a 16p CMP, but in order to utilize the auto-generated TORUS2D
interconnet, I placed each processor on a single chip, but reduced the
latencies to make the 16p communicate like on a single chip. Is it
resonable to do this? Is there any restriction on the protocol can be
used if I do so?
This is reasonable, but I'm not sure where the directory/memory
controllers are placed and plus the default TORUS2D code will create a
memory controller for every processor.
An alternative approach uses FILE_SPECIFIED topology.
