Re: [Gems-users] Transactional Memory - open and closed transactions

[holey003@xxxxxxx]

Ok. I got it.

Another doubt regarding interaction between cache controller and 
transactional memory. I found calls from L1Cache_Wakeup.C to TM to 
checkreadwritesignatures() and from L1Cache_Transitions.C to 
shouldNackLoad(). The second one (shouldNackLoad) is called during state 
transition. But I didn't understand why checkreadwritesignatures() is 
called? How wakeup works for cache controller?
Thanks,
Anup
