DRAM: Introduce SimpleDRAM to capture a high-level controller This patch introduces a high-level model of a DRAM controller, with a basic read/write buffer structure, a selectable and customisable arbiter, a few address mapping options, and the basic DRAM timing constraints. The parameters make it possible to turn this model into any desired DDRx/LPDDRx/WideIOx memory controller. The intention is not to be cycle accurate or capture every aspect of a DDR DRAM interface, but rather to enable exploring of the high-level knobs with a good simulation speed. Thus, contrary to e.g. DRAMSim this module emphasizes simulation speed with a good-enough accuracy. This module is merely a starting point, and there are plenty additions and improvements to come. A notable addition is the support for address-striping in the bus to enable a multi-channel DRAM controller. Also note that there are still a few "todo's" in the code base that will be addressed as we go along. A follow-up patch will add basic performance regressions that use the traffic generator to exercise a few well-defined corner cases.

sim: have a curTick per eventq This patch adds a _curTick variable to an eventq. This variable is updated whenever an event is serviced in function serviceOne(), or all events upto a particular time are processed in function serviceEvents(). This change helps when there are eventqs that do not make use of curTick for scheduling events.

mem: Fix DRAM draining to ensure write queue is empty This patch fixes the draining of the SimpleDRAM controller model. The controller performs buffering of writes and normally there is no need to ever empty the write buffer (if you have a fast on-chip memory, then use it). The patch adds checks to ensure the write buffer is drained when the controller is asked to do so.

This maps to current DDRx, LPDDRx and WIOx standards that have either tFAW (4 activate window) or tTAW (2 activate window) scheduling constraints.

This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.

DRAM: Introduce SimpleDRAM to capture a high-level controller This patch introduces a high-level model of a DRAM controller, with a basic read/write buffer structure, a selectable and customisable arbiter, a few address mapping options, and the basic DRAM timing constraints. The parameters make it possible to turn this model into any desired DDRx/LPDDRx/WideIOx memory controller. The intention is not to be cycle accurate or capture every aspect of a DDR DRAM interface, but rather to enable exploring of the high-level knobs with a good simulation speed. Thus, contrary to e.g. DRAMSim this module emphasizes simulation speed with a good-enough accuracy. This module is merely a starting point, and there are plenty additions and improvements to come. A notable addition is the support for address-striping in the bus to enable a multi-channel DRAM controller. Also note that there are still a few "todo's" in the code base that will be addressed as we go along. A follow-up patch will add basic performance regressions that use the traffic generator to exercise a few well-defined corner cases.

DRAM: Introduce SimpleDRAM to capture a high-level controller This patch introduces a high-level model of a DRAM controller, with a basic read/write buffer structure, a selectable and customisable arbiter, a few address mapping options, and the basic DRAM timing constraints. The parameters make it possible to turn this model into any desired DDRx/LPDDRx/WideIOx memory controller. The intention is not to be cycle accurate or capture every aspect of a DDR DRAM interface, but rather to enable exploring of the high-level knobs with a good simulation speed. Thus, contrary to e.g. DRAMSim this module emphasizes simulation speed with a good-enough accuracy. This module is merely a starting point, and there are plenty additions and improvements to come.

DRAM: Introduce SimpleDRAM to capture a high-level controller This patch introduces a high-level model of a DRAM controller, with a basic read/write buffer structure, a selectable and customisable arbiter, a few address mapping options, and the basic DRAM timing constraints. The parameters make it possible to turn this model into any desired DDRx/LPDDRx/WideIOx memory controller. The intention is not to be cycle accurate or capture every aspect of a DDR DRAM interface, but rather to enable exploring of the high-level knobs with a good simulation speed. Thus, contrary to e.g. DRAMSim this module emphasizes simulation speed with a good-enough accuracy. This module is merely a starting point, and there are plenty additions and improvements to come. A notable addition is the support for address-striping in the bus to enable a multi-channel DRAM controller.

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.

The parameters make it possible to turn this model into any desired DDRx/LPDDRx/WideIOx memory controller. The intention is not to be cycle accurate or capture every aspect of a DDR DRAM interface, but rather to enable exploring of the high-level knobs with a good simulation speed. Thus, contrary to e.g. DRAMSim this module emphasizes simulation speed with a good-enough accuracy. This module is merely a starting point, and there are plenty additions and improvements to come. A notable addition is the support for address-striping in the bus to enable a multi-channel DRAM controller. Also note that there are still a few "todo's" in the code base that will be addressed as we go along. A follow-up patch will add basic performance regressions that use the traffic generator to exercise a few well-defined corner cases.

All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations. The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default.

The parameters make it possible to turn this model into any desired DDRx/LPDDRx/WideIOx memory controller. The intention is not to be cycle accurate or capture every aspect of a DDR DRAM interface, but rather to enable exploring of the high-level knobs with a good simulation speed. Thus, contrary to e.g. DRAMSim this module emphasizes simulation speed with a good-enough accuracy. This module is merely a starting point, and there are plenty additions and improvements to come. A notable addition is the support for address-striping in the bus to enable a multi-channel DRAM controller. Also note that there are still a few "todo's" in the code base that will be addressed as we go along. A follow-up patch will add basic performance regressions that use the traffic generator to exercise a few well-defined corner cases.

sim: Move the draining interface into a separate base class This patch moves the draining interface from SimObject to a separate class that can be used by any object needing draining. However, objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.

mem: Fix DRAM draining to ensure write queue is empty This patch fixes the draining of the SimpleDRAM controller model. The controller performs buffering of writes and normally there is no need to ever empty the write buffer (if you have a fast on-chip memory, then use it). The patch adds checks to ensure the write buffer is drained when the controller is asked to do so.

// the only part that is not drained automatically over time
// is the write queue, thus trigger writes if there are any
// waiting and no reads waiting, otherwise wait until the
// reads are done
mem: SimpleDRAM variable naming and whitespace fixes This patch fixes a number of small cosmetic issues in the SimpleDRAM module. The most important change is to move the accounting of received packets to after the check is made if the packet should be retried or not. Thus, packets are only counted if they are actually accepted.
