[Gems-users] question about the interconnection network part of ruby

["杨国强" <nkyangguoqiang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

 

I set my simulation system as a CMP with 4 processors on a single chip, the interconnection network topology as file-specified using the default file.

 

Now, I have the following questions about the GEMS system.

 

1. I found that there is a throttle from switch to L1 cache or whatever components, but there is no throttle from L1cache(L2cache and Directory) to switch. Any reason or explanation about this?

 

2. Now, ruby considers infinite message buffer for throttle and switch, can we set a certain value for the messagebuffer by calling MessageBuffer::setSize(newsize)？

 

Many thanks~
