This update includes the changes to whole-line writes, the refinement
of Read to ReadClean and ReadShared, the introduction of CleanEvict
for snoop-filter tracking, and updates to the DRAM command scheduler
for bank-group-aware scheduling.
Needless to say, almost every regression is affected.
This patch removes the three MIPS and SPARC regressions that use the
deprecated InOrderCPU.
This is the first step in completely removing the code from the tree,
avoiding confusion, and focusing all development efforts on the
MinorCPU. Brave new world.
Changes due to speculative execution of an unaligned PC, introduction
of TLB stats, changes and re-work of the prefetcher, and the
introduction of rank-wise refresh in the DRAM controller.
This patch bumps the stats to reflect the addition of the snoop filter
and snoop stats, the change from bus to crossbar, and the updates to
the ARM regressions that are now using a different CPU and cache
configuration. Lastly, some minor changes are expected due to the
activation cleanup of the CPUs.
Mostly small differences in total ticks, but O3 stall causes
shifted significantly.
30.eon does speed up by ~6% on Alpha and ARM, and 50.vortex
by 4.5% on ARM. At the other extreme, X86 70.twolf is 0.8%
slower.
Update stats for recent changes. Mostly minor changes
in register access stats due to addition of new cc
register type and slightly different (and more accurate)
classification of int vs. fp register accesses.
Apparently only stats.txt was updated the last time, so
this changeset updates other reference output files
(config.ini, simout, simerr, ruby.stats) so that
test output diffs should not be cluttered with irrelevant
changes. There are a few stats.txt updates too, but
they are in the minority.
This patch updates the stats to reflect the: 1) addition of the
internal queue in SimpleMemory, 2) moving of the memory class outside
FSConfig, 3) fixing up of the 2D vector printing format, 4) specifying
burst size and interface width for the DRAM instead of relying on
cache-line size, 5) performing merging in the DRAM controller write
buffer, and 6) fixing how idle cycles are counted in the atomic and
timing CPU models.
The main reason for bundling them up is to minimise the changeset
size.
This patch removes the sparse histogram total from the CommMonitor
stats. It also bumps the stats after the unit fixes in the atomic
cache access. Lastly, it updates the stats to match the new port
ordering. All numbers are the same, and the only thing that changes is
which master corresponds to what port index.
Ruby's controller statistics have been mostly moved to stats.txt now.
Plus stats.txt for solaris/t1000-simple-atomic and arm/20.parser are
also being updated.
This patch updates the stats to reflect the addition of the bus stats,
and changes to the bus layers. In addition it updates the stats to
match the addition of the static pipeline latency of the memory
conotroller and the addition of a stat tracking the bytes per
activate.
The actual statistical values are being updated for only two tests belonging
to sparc architecture and inorder cpu: 00.hello and 02.insttest. For others
the patch updates config.ini and name changes to statistical variables.
This patch bumps the stats to match the use of SimpleDRAM instead of
SimpleMemory in all inorder and O3 regressions, and also all
full-system regressions. A number of performance-related stats change,
and a whole bunch of stats are added for the memory controller.
This patch updates the stats to reflect the change in how cache
latencies are expressed. In addition, the latencies are now rounded to
multiples of the clock period, thus also affecting other stats.
