This patch updates reference statistics for the regression tests. This
update was necessitated by a recent change in behavior of some instructions
in the x86 architecture.
This patch changes the implementation of Ruby's recvTiming() function so
that it pushes a packet in to the Sequencer instead of a RubyRequest. This
requires changes in the Sequencer's makeRequest() and issueRequest()
functions, as they also need to operate on a Packet instead of RubyRequest.
This patch adds a fault model, which provides the probability of a number of
architectural faults in the interconnection network (e.g., data corruption,
misrouting). These probabilities can be used to realistically inject faults
in GARNET and faithfully evaluate the effectiveness of novel resilient NoC
architectures.
This patch adds a new microop for memory barrier. The microop itself does
nothing, but since it is marked as a memory barrier, the O3 CPU should flush
all the pending loads and stores before the fence to the memory system.
This patch removes some of the unused typedefs. It also moves
some of the typedefs from Global.hh to TypeDefines.hh. The patch
also eliminates the file NodeID.hh.
This parameter depends on a number of coincidences to work properly. First,
there must be an array assigned to system called "cpu" even though there's no
parameter called that. Second, the items in the "cpu" array have to have a
"clock" parameter which has a "frequency" member. This is true of the normal
CPUs, but isn't true of the memory tester CPUs. This happened to work before
because the memory tester CPUs were only used in SE mode where this parameter
was being excluded. Since everything is being pulled into a common binary,
this won't work any more. Since the boot_cpu_frequency parameter is only used
by Alpha's Linux System object (and Mips's through copy and paste), the
definition of that parameter is moved down to those objects specifically.
In RubySlicc_ComponentMapping.hh, certain '#define's have been used for
mapping MachineType to GenericMachineType. These '#define's are being
eliminated and the code will now be generated by SLICC instead. Also
are being eliminated some of the unused functions from
RubySlicc_ComponentMapping.sm.
