Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent bus This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one, and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses. A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses, and is typically used for the I/O buses. A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system interconnect. The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all peripheral and I/O buses. A bit of minor tidying up has also been done. --HG-- rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_bus.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_bus.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh

/*
mem: Add crossbar latencies This patch introduces latencies in crossbar that were neglected before. In particular, it adds three parameters in crossbar model: front_end_latency, forward_latency, and response_latency. Along with these parameters, three corresponding members are added: frontEndLatency, forwardLatency, and responseLatency. The coherent crossbar has an additional snoop_response_latency. The latency of the request path through the xbar is set as --> frontEndLatency + forwardLatency In case the snoop filter is enabled, the request path latency is charged also by look-up latency of the snoop filter. --> frontEndLatency + SF(lookupLatency) + forwardLatency. The latency of the response path through the xbar is set instead as --> responseLatency. In case of snoop response, if the response is treated as a normal response the latency associated is again --> responseLatency; If instead it is forwarded as snoop response we add an additional variable + snoopResponseLatency and the latency associated is --> snoopResponseLatency; Furthermore, this patch lets the crossbar progress on the next clock edge after an unused retry, changing the time the crossbar considers itself busy after sending a retry that was not acted upon.

mem: Delay responses in the crossbar before forwarding This patch changes how the crossbar classes deal with responses. Instead of forwarding responses directly and burdening the neighbouring modules in paying for the latency (through the pkt->headerDelay), we now queue them before sending them. The coherency protocol is not affected as requests and any snoop requests/responses are still passed on in zero time. Thus, the responses end up paying for any header delay accumulated when passing through the crossbar. Any latency incurred on the request path will be paid for on the response side, if no other module has dealt with it. As a result of this patch, responses are returned at a later point. This affects the number of outstanding transactions, and quite a few regressions see an impact in blocking due to no MSHRs, increased cache-miss latencies, etc. Going forward we should be able to use the same concept also for snoop responses, and any request that is not an express snoop.

Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent bus This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one, and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses. A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses, and is typically used for the I/O buses. A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system interconnect. The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all peripheral and I/O buses. A bit of minor tidying up has also been done. --HG-- rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_bus.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_bus.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh

mem: Make the buses multi layered This patch makes the buses multi layered, and effectively creates a crossbar structure with distributed contention ports at the destination ports. Before this patch, a bus could have a single request, response and snoop response in flight at any time, and with these changes there can be as many requests as connected slaves (bus master ports), and as many responses as connected masters (bus slave ports). Together with address interleaving, this patch enables us to create high-throughput memory interconnects, e.g. 50+ GByte/s.

Thus, when a retry reaches the bus, it can be sent to the appropriate port that initiated that transaction. As a consequence of this patch, only ports that are really ready to go will get a retry, thus reducing the amount of redundant failed attempts. This patch also makes it easier to reason about the order of servicing requests as the ports waiting for the bus are now clearly FIFO and much easier to change if desired.

Along with these parameters, three corresponding members are added: frontEndLatency, forwardLatency, and responseLatency. The coherent crossbar has an additional snoop_response_latency. The latency of the request path through the xbar is set as --> frontEndLatency + forwardLatency In case the snoop filter is enabled, the request path latency is charged also by look-up latency of the snoop filter. --> frontEndLatency + SF(lookupLatency) + forwardLatency. The latency of the response path through the xbar is set instead as --> responseLatency. In case of snoop response, if the response is treated as a normal response the latency associated is again --> responseLatency; If instead it is forwarded as snoop response we add an additional variable + snoopResponseLatency and the latency associated is --> snoopResponseLatency; Furthermore, this patch lets the crossbar progress on the next clock edge after an unused retry, changing the time the crossbar considers itself busy after sending a retry that was not acted upon.

mem: Make the XBar responsible for tracking response routing This patch removes the need for a source and destination field in the packet by shifting the onus of the tracking to the crossbar, much like a real implementation. This change in behaviour also means we no longer need a SenderState to remember the source/dest when ever we have multiple crossbars in the system. Thus, the stack that was created by the SenderState is not needed, and each crossbar locally tracks the response routing. The fields in the packet are still left behind as the RubyPort (which also acts as a crossbar) does routing based on them. In the succeeding patches the uses of the src and dest field will be removed. Combined, these patches improve the simulation performance by roughly 2%.

mem: Make cache terminology easier to understand This patch changes the name of a bunch of packet flags and MSHR member functions and variables to make the coherency protocol easier to understand. In addition the patch adds and updates lots of descriptions, explicitly spelling out assumptions. The following name changes are made: * the packet memInhibit flag is renamed to cacheResponding * the packet sharedAsserted flag is renamed to hasSharers * the packet NeedsExclusive attribute is renamed to NeedsWritable * the packet isSupplyExclusive is renamed responderHadWritable * the MSHR pendingDirty is renamed to pendingModified The cache states, Modified, Owned, Exclusive, Shared are also called out in the cache and MSHR code to make it easier to understand.

mem: Separate waiting for the bus and waiting for a peer This patch splits the retryList into a list of ports that are waiting for the bus itself to become available, and a map that tracks the ports where forwarding failed due to a peer not accepting the packet. Thus, when a retry reaches the bus, it can be sent to the appropriate port that initiated that transaction. As a consequence of this patch, only ports that are really ready to go will get a retry, thus reducing the amount of redundant failed attempts. This patch also makes it easier to reason about the order of servicing requests as the ports waiting for the bus are now clearly FIFO and much easier to change if desired.

Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent bus This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one, and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses. A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses, and is typically used for the I/O buses. A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system interconnect. The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all peripheral and I/O buses.

mem: Add crossbar latencies This patch introduces latencies in crossbar that were neglected before. In particular, it adds three parameters in crossbar model: front_end_latency, forward_latency, and response_latency. Along with these parameters, three corresponding members are added: frontEndLatency, forwardLatency, and responseLatency. The coherent crossbar has an additional snoop_response_latency. The latency of the request path through the xbar is set as --> frontEndLatency + forwardLatency In case the snoop filter is enabled, the request path latency is charged also by look-up latency of the snoop filter. --> frontEndLatency + SF(lookupLatency) + forwardLatency. The latency of the response path through the xbar is set instead as --> responseLatency. In case of snoop response, if the response is treated as a normal response the latency associated is again --> responseLatency; If instead it is forwarded as snoop response we add an additional variable + snoopResponseLatency and the latency associated is --> snoopResponseLatency; Furthermore, this patch lets the crossbar progress on the next clock edge after an unused retry, changing the time the crossbar considers itself busy after sending a retry that was not acted upon.

mem: Enforce strict use of busFirst- and busLastWordTime This patch adds a check to ensure that the delay incurred by the bus is not simply disregarded, but accounted for by someone. At this point, all the modules do is to zero it out, and no additional time is spent. This highlights where the bus timing is simply dropped instead of being paid for. As a follow up, the locations identified in this patch should add this additional time to the packets in one way or another. For now it simply acts as a sanity check and highlights where the delay is simply ignored. Since no time is added, all regressions remain the same.

mem: Make packet bus-related time accounting relative This patch changes the bus-related time accounting done in the packet to be relative. Besides making it easier to align the cache timing to cache clock cycles, it also makes it possible to create a Last-Level Cache (LLC) directly to a memory controller without a bus inbetween. The bus is unique in that it does not ever make the packets wait to reflect the time spent forwarding them. Instead, the cache is currently responsible for making the packets wait. Thus, the bus annotates the packets with the time needed for the first word to appear, and also the last word. The cache then delays the packets in its queues before passing them on. It is worth noting that every object attached to a bus (devices, memories, bridges, etc) should be doing this if we opt for keeping this way of accounting for the bus timing.

Together with address interleaving, this patch enables us to create high-throughput memory interconnects, e.g. 50+ GByte/s.

In particular, it adds three parameters in crossbar model: front_end_latency, forward_latency, and response_latency. Along with these parameters, three corresponding members are added: frontEndLatency, forwardLatency, and responseLatency. The coherent crossbar has an additional snoop_response_latency. The latency of the request path through the xbar is set as --> frontEndLatency + forwardLatency In case the snoop filter is enabled, the request path latency is charged also by look-up latency of the snoop filter. --> frontEndLatency + SF(lookupLatency) + forwardLatency. The latency of the response path through the xbar is set instead as --> responseLatency. In case of snoop response, if the response is treated as a normal response the latency associated is again --> responseLatency; If instead it is forwarded as snoop response we add an additional variable + snoopResponseLatency and the latency associated is --> snoopResponseLatency; Furthermore, this patch lets the crossbar progress on the next clock edge after an unused retry, changing the time the crossbar considers itself busy after sending a retry that was not acted upon.

mem: Delay responses in the crossbar before forwarding This patch changes how the crossbar classes deal with responses. Instead of forwarding responses directly and burdening the neighbouring modules in paying for the latency (through the pkt->headerDelay), we now queue them before sending them. The coherency protocol is not affected as requests and any snoop requests/responses are still passed on in zero time. Thus, the responses end up paying for any header delay accumulated when passing through the crossbar. Any latency incurred on the request path will be paid for on the response side, if no other module has dealt with it. As a result of this patch, responses are returned at a later point. This affects the number of outstanding transactions, and quite a few regressions see an impact in blocking due to no MSHRs, increased cache-miss latencies, etc. Going forward we should be able to use the same concept also for snoop responses, and any request that is not an express snoop.

mem: Make the XBar responsible for tracking response routing This patch removes the need for a source and destination field in the packet by shifting the onus of the tracking to the crossbar, much like a real implementation. This change in behaviour also means we no longer need a SenderState to remember the source/dest when ever we have multiple crossbars in the system. Thus, the stack that was created by the SenderState is not needed, and each crossbar locally tracks the response routing. The fields in the packet are still left behind as the RubyPort (which also acts as a crossbar) does routing based on them. In the succeeding patches the uses of the src and dest field will be removed. Combined, these patches improve the simulation performance by roughly 2%.

Together with address interleaving, this patch enables us to create high-throughput memory interconnects, e.g. 50+ GByte/s.

mem: Split port retry for all different packet classes This patch fixes a long-standing isue with the port flow control. Before this patch the retry mechanism was shared between all different packet classes. As a result, a snoop response could get stuck behind a request waiting for a retry, even if the send/recv functions were split. This caused message-dependent deadlocks in stress-test scenarios. The patch splits the retry into one per packet (message) class. Thus, sendTimingReq has a corresponding recvReqRetry, sendTimingResp has recvRespRetry etc. Most of the changes to the code involve simply clarifying what type of request a specific object was accepting. The biggest change in functionality is in the cache downstream packet queue, facing the memory. This queue was shared by requests and snoop responses, and it is now split into two queues, each with their own flow control, but the same physical MasterPort. These changes fixes the previously seen deadlocks.

Bus: Split the bus into separate request/response layers This patch splits the existing buses into multiple layers. The non-coherent bus is split into a request and a response layer, and the coherent bus adds an additional layer for the snoop responses. The layer is modified to be templatised on the port type, such that the different layers can have retryLists with either master or slave ports. This patch also removes the dynamic cast from the retry, as previously promised when moving the recvRetry from the port base class to the master/slave port respectively. Overall, the split bus more closely reflects any modern on-chip bus and should be at step in the right direction. From this point, it would be reasonable straight forward to add separate layers (and thus contention points and arbitration) for each port and thus create a true crossbar. The regressions all produce the correct output, but have varying degrees of changes to their statistics. A separate patch will be pushed with the updates to the reference statistics.

mem: Make packet bus-related time accounting relative This patch changes the bus-related time accounting done in the packet to be relative. Besides making it easier to align the cache timing to cache clock cycles, it also makes it possible to create a Last-Level Cache (LLC) directly to a memory controller without a bus inbetween. The bus is unique in that it does not ever make the packets wait to reflect the time spent forwarding them. Instead, the cache is currently responsible for making the packets wait. Thus, the bus annotates the packets with the time needed for the first word to appear, and also the last word. The cache then delays the packets in its queues before passing them on. It is worth noting that every object attached to a bus (devices, memories, bridges, etc) should be doing this if we opt for keeping this way of accounting for the bus timing.

mem: Clarification of packet crossbar timings This patch clarifies the packet timings annotated when going through a crossbar. The old 'firstWordDelay' is replaced by 'headerDelay' that represents the delay associated to the delivery of the header of the packet. The old 'lastWordDelay' is replaced by 'payloadDelay' that represents the delay needed to processing the payload of the packet. For now the uses and values remain identical. However, going forward the payloadDelay will be additive, and not include the headerDelay. Follow-on patches will make the headerDelay capture the pipeline latency incurred in the crossbar, whereas the payloadDelay will capture the additional serialisation delay.

mem: Delay responses in the crossbar before forwarding This patch changes how the crossbar classes deal with responses. Instead of forwarding responses directly and burdening the neighbouring modules in paying for the latency (through the pkt->headerDelay), we now queue them before sending them. The coherency protocol is not affected as requests and any snoop requests/responses are still passed on in zero time. Thus, the responses end up paying for any header delay accumulated when passing through the crossbar. Any latency incurred on the request path will be paid for on the response side, if no other module has dealt with it. As a result of this patch, responses are returned at a later point. This affects the number of outstanding transactions, and quite a few regressions see an impact in blocking due to no MSHRs, increased cache-miss latencies, etc. Going forward we should be able to use the same concept also for snoop responses, and any request that is not an express snoop.

The only changes outside the bus/crossbar code is due to the delay variables in the packet. --HG-- rename : src/mem/Bus.py => src/mem/XBar.py rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/xbar.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/xbar.hh

NoncoherentXBar::regStats()
mem: Add basic stats to the buses This patch adds a basic set of stats which are hard to impossible to implement using only communication monitors, and are needed for insight such as bus utilization, transactions through the bus etc. Stats added include throughput and transaction distribution, and also a two-dimensional vector capturing how many packets and how much data is exchanged between the masters and slaves connected to the bus.
