[Gems-users] convert MOSI_SMP_bcast to MOSI_CMP_bcast

["avadh patel" <apatel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone,

I would like to use the bus based snooping protocol for my project in CMP system.
I saw the list of protocols supported by the GEMS doesn't contain any bus based snooping protocol for CMP systems.

I would like to change the current MOSI_SMP_bcast to MOSI_CMP_bcast protocol, but as I dont know the SLICC in detail and how should I change the network configuration used.
So I am requesting to this group to help me out to create this new protocol. I have following questions:

1) Can I simply change the network topology in MOSI_SMP_bcast protocol to look like MOSI_CMP_bcast?

2) Why is directory used in MOSI_SMP_bcast? as it is a bus based snooping protocol, it shouldn't require any directory.

Thanks in advance.
