Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BaseGen()

gem5::BaseGen::BaseGen	(	SimObject &	obj,
		RequestorID	requestor_id,
		Tick	_duration
	)

Create a base generator.

Parameters

obj	simobject owning the generator
requestor_id	RequestorID set on each request
_duration	duration of this state before transitioning

Member Function Documentation

enter()

virtual void gem5::BaseGen::enter ( )

pure virtual

Enter this generator state.

Implemented in gem5::TraceGen, gem5::StridedGen, gem5::RandomGen, gem5::LinearGen, gem5::IdleGen, gem5::HybridGen, and gem5::ExitGen.

exit()

virtual void gem5::BaseGen::exit ( )

inlinevirtual

Exit this generator state.

By default do nothing.

Reimplemented in gem5::TraceGen.

Definition at line 124 of file base_gen.hh.

getNextPacket()

virtual PacketPtr gem5::BaseGen::getNextPacket ( )

pure virtual

Get the next generated packet.

Returns

A packet to be sent at the current tick

Implemented in gem5::TraceGen, gem5::StridedGen, gem5::RandomGen, gem5::NvmGen, gem5::LinearGen, gem5::IdleGen, gem5::HybridGen, gem5::ExitGen, gem5::DramRotGen, and gem5::DramGen.

getPacket()

PacketPtr gem5::BaseGen::getPacket ( Addr  addr, unsigned  size, const MemCmd &  cmd, Request::FlagsType  flags = 0  )

protected

Generate a new request and associated packet.

Parameters

addr	Physical address to use
size	Size of the request
cmd	Memory command to send
flags	Optional request flags

name()

std::string gem5::BaseGen::name ( ) const

inline

Get the name, useful for DPRINTFs.

Returns

the given name

Definition at line 107 of file base_gen.hh.

References _name.

Referenced by gem5::ExitGen::enter(), gem5::TraceGen::exit(), gem5::HybridGen::HybridGen(), and gem5::StochasticGen::StochasticGen().

nextPacketTick()

virtual Tick gem5::BaseGen::nextPacketTick ( bool  elastic, Tick  delay  ) const

pure 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

Implemented in gem5::TraceGen, gem5::StridedGen, gem5::RandomGen, gem5::LinearGen, gem5::IdleGen, gem5::HybridGen, and gem5::ExitGen.
