[Gems-users] which protocol can I use?

[Huan Fang <huanf@xxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

It's my first post here :) I need some help to decide which protocol 
best suits my project.
Since we are considering a CMP architecture with 16 processors on one 
chip, but each processor has its private L1,L2, even memory,(the memory 
is shared but physically distributed), shall I use 
MSI_MOSI_CMP_directory or MOESI_CMP_directory? However, they have two 
level directories, do we need the L1-L2 cache coherence protocol?
Maybe we can use MOESI_SMP_directory, because it's said "The SMP 
protocols can be used to model a CMP with Private caches."
Any reply are welcome. Thank you.

Regards,
Huan
