[Gems-users] Simics-Ruby wakeup interface

[divya ramakrishnan <tickly2002192@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a very basic question about the flow of control in the interface between Simics and Ruby. 
I understand that for every memory access, Simics wakes up Ruby and adds the transaction to the event queue. How exactly is this event queue triggered [using triggerevents(time)] after the Simics processor is stalled? 

Is Ruby triggered for every cycle after that till it returns a latency and unstalls the processor? Is this triggering done by Simics by waking up Ruby every cycle? 

It would be great if I could understand this basic flow because I am really confused about the network simulation. 

Thank you,
