[Gems-users] High Router power

[Muhammad Shoaib <shoaibbinalt@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

 I am trying to simulate a CMP having a RING topology with 16  processors. The stats give me very high powers like 
 
 Router # = 0
 Power = 581939 W 
 Router # = 1
 Power = 634745 W 
 Router # = 2
 Power = 645353 W 
 Router # = 3
 Power = 773772 W
 Router # = 4
 Power = 711782 W 
 Router # = 5
 Power = 801895 W 
 Router # = 6
 Power = 657095 W 
 Router # = 7
 Power = 612172 W 
 Router # = 8
 Power = 610153 W 
 Router # = 9
 Power = 577075 W 
 Router # = 10
 Power = 544089 W 
 Router # = 11
 Power = 548418 W 
 Router # = 12
 Power = 549896 W 
 Router # = 13
 Power = 535504 W 
Router # = 14
 Power = 559912 W 
 Router # = 15
 Power = 542870 W 
 Total Link Power = 2.02815 W 
 Total Router Power = 4.94334e+06 W 
 
 I have already made the following changes in SIM_port.h that Niket  suggested in a thread to cater this sort of problem:
 
 #define PARM_vc_in_arb_model RR_ARBITER
 #define PARM_vc_out_arb_model RR_ARBITER
 #define PARM_vc_in_arb_ff_model NEG_DFF
 #define PARM_vc_out_arb_ff_model NEG_DFF
 #define PARM_sw_in_arb_model RR_ARBITER
 #define PARM_sw_out_arb_model RR_ARBITER
 #define PARM_sw_in_arb_ff_model NEG_DFF
 #define PARM_sw_out_arb_ff_model NEG_DFF
 #define PARM_VC_per_MC 4
 
 
 Any idea what can be the possible reason???
