Detailed Description

The strided generator generates sequential requests from a start to an end address, with a fixed block size.

A fraction of the requests are reads, as determined by the read percent. There is an optional data limit for when to stop generating new requests.

◆ StridedGen()

gem5::StridedGen::StridedGen	(	SimObject &	obj,
		RequestorID	requestor_id,
		Tick	_duration,
		Addr	start_addr,
		Addr	end_addr,
		Addr	_blocksize,

	)

inline

Create a strided address sequence generator.

Set min_period == max_period for a fixed inter-transaction time.

Parameters

obj	SimObject owning this sequence generator
requestor_id	RequestorID related to the memory requests
_duration	duration of this state before transitioning
start_addr	Start address
end_addr	End address
_blocksize	Size used for transactions injected
cacheline_size	cache line size in the system
stride_size	The strided size for consecutive requests
gen_id	The order of traffic generator in a list of strided \ traffic generators, this param is used to offset the start address of \ each generator accordingly with others.
min_period	Lower limit of random inter-transaction time
max_period	Upper limit of random inter-transaction time
read_percent	Percent of transactions that are reads
data_limit	Upper limit on how much data to read/write

◆ enter()

void gem5::StridedGen::enter ( )

virtual

Enter this generator state.

Implements gem5::BaseGen.

Definition at line 50 of file strided_gen.cc.

References gem5::StochasticGen::blocksize, dataManipulated, genID, nextAddr, and gem5::StochasticGen::startAddr.

◆ getNextPacket()

PacketPtr gem5::StridedGen::getNextPacket ( )

virtual

Get the next generated packet.

Returns: A packet to be sent at the current tick

Implements gem5::BaseGen.

◆ nextPacketTick()

Tick gem5::StridedGen::nextPacketTick	(	bool	elastic,
		Tick	delay
	)		const

virtual

Determine the tick when the next packet is available.

MaxTick means that there will not be any further packets in the current activation cycle of the generator.

Parameters

elastic	should the injection respond to flow control or not
delay	time the previous packet spent waiting

Returns: next tick when a packet is available

Implements gem5::BaseGen.
